Impact of body mass index and serum albumin levels on isavuconazole plasma concentrations in patients with haematological malignancies

Patients with haematological malignancies treated with isavuconazole show modest plasma concentration variability. However, for patients with a BMI ≤ 21.0 kg/m2 and/or an ALB ≥ 36.4 g/L, we propose that therapeutic drug monitoring may assist in ensuring medication safety. Additionally, for the first time, a nomogram was developed to predict isavuconazole levels > 7 mg/L using BMI and ALB, though further validation is warranted.

Abstract

Patients with haematological malignancies treated with isavuconazole show modest plasma concentration variability. However, for patients with a BMI ≤ 21.0 kg/m2 and/or an ALB ≥ 36.4 g/L, we propose that therapeutic drug monitoring may assist in ensuring medication safety. Additionally, for the first time, a nomogram was developed to predict isavuconazole levels > 7 mg/L using BMI and ALB, though further validation is warranted.
