Tailoring antifungal doses for seniors: a precision approach
NCT ID NCT07496008
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find the best dose of isavuconazole, an antifungal drug, for patients over 60 with invasive fungal infections. Researchers will monitor drug levels in the blood and adjust doses to improve treatment and reduce side effects. The goal is to create personalized dosing guidelines for this older population.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to safer, more effective dosing guidelines for isavuconazole in older adults with invasive fungal infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a large treatment trial. Results may not change current practice, and individual responses can vary widely.
