Co-administration of triazoles with calcineurin or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors in solid organ transplant patients hospitalized with invasive aspergillosis
Voriconazole was used nearly twice as frequently as isavuconazole, despite isavuconazole having more predictable pharmacokinetics and a lower propensity for severe drug-drug interactions versus voriconazole. The still-frequent use of isavuconazole may reflect its lower inhibition of CNIs and mTOR inhibitors. Resulting drug-drug interactions may be serious and dose adjustment and therapeutic drug monitoring are needed to reduce SAEs.
