Abstract

Interindividual pharmacokinetic changes are frequently observed in voriconazole therapy, therefore, routine serum trough level monitoring is recommended. In this study, patients treated with voriconazole were evaluated and the effects of monitoring voriconazole levels on the antifungal treatment method were investigated. Patients aged 18 years and older who were treated with voriconazole between January 2019 and November 2020 in a tertiary university hospital were included in this study. In addition to the demographic information of the patients, voriconazole level monitoring, level results, and data on antifungal treatment were analyzed. During the study, voriconazole treatment was given to 70 patients with a median age of 55.5 (20-87) years and 21 (30%) women. 87.1% of voriconazole treatments were administered parenterally. 31 (44.3%) were treated with voriconazole before the start of voriconazole level monitoring in the hospital, and 39 (55.7%) after the therapeutic drug level monitoring was started. In the post-level monitoring period, a total of 88 voriconazole plasma levels were monitored in 34 (87.2%) patients, the median (minimum-maximum) number of monitorings per patient was 2 (1-8). The voriconazole levels were 51.1% therapeutic, 15.9% subtherapeutic, and 33% supratherapeutic. After level monitoring, 30 interventions were performed, the most common interventions being a reduction of voriconazole dose (n= 11, 42.3%) and switching to oral therapy (n= 8, 26.7%). This study reveals that therapeutic drug level monitoring in voriconazole treatment can be effectively adapted to hospital practice and that this practice is an important approach to provide optimum treatment.

Özet

Vorikonazol tedavisinde sıklıkla bireyler arası farmakokinetik değişiklikler gözlenmektedir, bu nedenle rutin olarak serum vadi düzeyi izlemi yapılması önerilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, vorikonazol tedavisi verilen hastalar değerlendirilmiş ve vorikonazol düzeyi izleminin yapılmasının antifungal tedavi yöntemi üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmaya üçüncü basamak bir üniversite hastanesinde, Ocak 2019-Kasım 2020 tarihleri arasında vorikonazol ile tedavi edilmiş, 18 yaş ve üzeri hastalar dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların demografik bilgilerinin yanı sıra vorikonazol düzeyi izlemi yapılma durumu, düzey sonuçları ve antifungal tedaviye ilişkin veriler analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma süresince yaş ortancası 55.5 (20-87) yıl ve 21’i (%30) kadın olan toplam 70 hastaya vorikonazol tedavisi verilmiştir. Vorikonazol tedavilerinin %87.1’i parenteral olarak uygulanmıştır. Dahil edilen hastaların 31’i (%44.3) hastanede vorikonazol düzeyi izlemi uygulamasına başlanmasından önce, 39’u (%55.7) ise terapötik ilaç düzeyi ölçümü uygulamasına başlandıktan sonraki dönemde vorikonazol ile tedavi edilmiştir. Düzey ölçümü sonrası döneminde 34 (%87.2) hastada toplam 88 vorikonazol plazma düzeyi ölçümü yapılmıştır, hasta başına yapılan ölçüm sayısı ortanca (minimum-maksimum) 2’dir (1-8). Vorikonazol düzeylerinin %51.1’i terapötik, %15.9’u subterapötik, %33’ü ise supraterapötik aralıkta bulunmuştur. Düzey ölçümleri sonrası 30 müdahale yapılmıştır, en sık yapılan müdahaleler vorikonazol dozunun azaltılması (n= 11, %42.3) ve oral tedaviye geçilmesi olmuştur (n= 8, %26.7). Bu çalışma vorikonazol tedavisinde terapötik ilaç düzeyi izleminin hastane pratiğine etkin bir şekilde adapte edilebileceğini ve bu uygulamanın optimum tedavinin sağlanması için önemli bir yaklaşım olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır
