Steady-state pharmacokinetics of oral voriconazole and its primary metabolite, N-oxide voriconazole, pre- and post-autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation.

Voriconazole (VCZ) is frequently utilized for prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections in peripheral stem cell transplant (PSCT) patients. We performed an open-label pharmacokinetic study to compare VCZ and N-oxide voriconazole (N-oxide VCZ) pharmacokinetics in patients pre- and post-PSCT. Ten patients completed both sampling periods. The pharmacokinetics of VCZ were unchanged; however, those of N-oxide VCZ were significantly different pre- and post-PSCT.
