Data regarding treatment of rare invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) are scarce. We documented the efficacy and safety of isavuconazole for treatment of uncommonly diagnosed IFDs. VITAL was a single-arm, international, open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of isavuconazole (200 mg orally or intravenously every 8 hours for 48 hours, then once daily). The primary outcome was overall response at Day 42; key secondary outcomes were overall responses at Day 84 and end of treatment (EOT), mortality at Days 42 and 84, and safety. This analysis includes patients with IFD caused by rare or unidentified pathogens. Twenty-six patients with IFDs caused by rare moulds (n = 17), non-Candida yeasts (n = 2), or unidentified moulds (n = 7) were enrolled (median treatment duration [range], 114.5 [1-496]) days. Overall treatment success was observed in 11/26 (42.3%), 10/26 (38.5%), and 15/26 (57.7%) patients at Days 42, 84, and EOT, respectively. All-cause mortality rates were 2/26 patients (7.7%) at Day 42 and 4/26 patients (15.4%) at Day 84; another two patients died after Day 84. All patients had ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE); 15 patients (57.7%) had serious TEAEs, and TEAEs led to discontinuation of isavuconazole in four patients (15.4%). Isavuconazole may be efficacious for treatment of a range of rare IFDs.
关于治疗罕见侵袭性真菌病(IFD)的数据很少。我们记录了伊曲康唑治疗罕见诊断 IFD 的疗效和安全性。VITAL 是一项单臂、国际、开放性标签研究,评估伊曲康唑(200mg 口服或静脉注射每 8 小时一次,共 48 小时,然后每日一次)的疗效和安全性。主要终点是第 42 天的总体反应;关键次要终点是第 84 天和治疗结束时(EOT)的总体反应、第 42 天和第 84 天的死亡率以及安全性。本分析包括由罕见或未识别病原体引起 IFD 的患者。26 例由罕见霉菌(n=17)、非念珠菌酵母(n=2)或未识别霉菌(n=7)引起的 IFD 患者入组(中位数治疗持续时间[范围],114.5[1-496]天)。第 42、84 和 EOT 天,分别有 11/26(42.3%)、10/26(38.5%)和 15/26(57.7%)患者观察到总体治疗成功。第 42 天和第 84 天的死亡率分别为 2/26 例(7.7%)和 4/26 例(15.4%);另外两名患者在第 84 天后死亡。所有患者均发生≥1 次治疗相关不良事件(TEAE);15 例(57.7%)患者发生严重 TEAE,4 例(15.4%)患者因 TEAE 停止使用伊曲康唑。伊曲康唑可能对多种罕见 IFD 的治疗有效。
