This prospective observational study aimed to clinically describe voriconazole administrations and trough concentrations in patients with Child-Pugh class C and to investigate the variability of trough concentration. A total of 144 voriconazole trough concentrations from 43 Child-Pugh class C patients were analyzed. The majority of patients (62.8%) received adjustments. The repeated measured trough concentration was higher than the first and final ones generally (median, 4.33 vs. 2.99, 3.90 mg/L). Eight patients with ideal initial concentrations later got supratherapeutic with no adjusted daily dose, implying accumulation. There was a significant difference in concentrations among the six groups by daily dose ( = 0.006). The bivariate correlation analysis showed that sex, CYP2C19 genotyping, daily dose, prothrombin time activity, international normalized ratio, platelet, and Model for end-stage liver disease score were significant factors for concentration. Subsequently, the first four factors mentioned above entered into a stepwise multiple linear regression model (variance inflation factor <5), implying that testing makes sense for precision medicine of Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis patients. The equation fits well and explains the 34.8% variety of concentrations (R = 0.348). In conclusion, it needs more cautious administration clinically due to no recommendation for Child-Pugh class C patients in the medication label. The adjustment of the administration regimen should be mainly based on the results of repeated therapeutic drug monitoring.
这项前瞻性观察性研究旨在临床描述C级Child-Pugh患者伏立康唑的给药情况和谷浓度,并调查谷浓度的变异性。分析了43例C级Child-Pugh患者的144次伏立康唑谷浓度。大多数患者(62.8%)接受了剂量调整。重复测量的谷浓度通常高于首次和末次测量值(中位数分别为4.33、2.99和3.90mg/L)。8例初始浓度理想的患者在未调整每日剂量的情况下后来出现了超治疗浓度,提示存在蓄积现象。按每日剂量分组的六组之间的浓度有显著差异(P=0.006)。双变量相关分析表明,性别、CYP2C19基因分型、每日剂量、凝血酶原时间活性、国际标准化比值、血小板以及终末期肝病模型评分是影响浓度的显著因素。随后,上述前四个因素进入逐步多元线性回归模型(方差膨胀因子<5),这意味着对于C级Child-Pugh肝硬化患者的精准用药,进行检测是有意义的。该方程拟合良好,可解释34.8%的浓度变化(R²=0.348)。总之,由于药物标签中未对C级Child-Pugh患者给出推荐,临床上给药需要更加谨慎。给药方案的调整应主要基于重复治疗药物监测的结果。
