Posaconazole to prevent fungal infections after stem cell transplant
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the antifungal drug posaconazole can prevent serious fungal infections in people who are at high risk after a stem cell transplant. If you qualify, you would take posaconazole during your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are getting a stem cell transplant for a blood cancer or blood disorder
- You have at least one high-risk factor, like a donor who is not a perfect match or a previous stem cell transplant
- You have not had a fungal infection in the past
- Your heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver are working well enough
- You are not pregnant and will use effective birth control during the study

This trial tests if giving the antifungal drug posaconazole as a tablet can prevent serious fungal infections in people who have had a stem cell transplant and develop gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which is a complication where donor cells attack the digestive tract. It may help protect patients who need strong immune-suppressing treatment for GVHD.
This study looks at how posaconazole (an antifungal medicine) moves through the body in people who recently had an allogeneic stem cell transplant and have mouth sores (mucositis). It may help clinicians choose the safest and most effective dosing for preventing serious fungal infections.
This study looks at how much posaconazole stays in your body while you receive it to prevent fungal infections during chemotherapy or after a stem cell transplant. Your care team will use standard posaconazole treatment and may take extra blood samples to understand its levels.
This trial tests a combination of antifungal medicines (liposomal amphotericin B and either isavuconazole or posaconazole) for people with blood cancers who develop a fungal infection despite taking preventive antifungal drugs. It aims to find a better treatment for these difficult infections.
This trial tests whether posaconazole, given through a vein or by mouth, can treat invasive fungal infections in children under 2 years old. It may help improve outcomes for infants with hard-to-treat fungal disease.
This trial tests whether using a targeted antifungal medicine (aimed at PTX3) can better prevent serious fungal infections in adults with AML or a related bone marrow disease who will have very low neutrophils. It may help lower the risk of dangerous infections during intensive chemotherapy hospital stays.
