Isavuconazole for Treating Invasive Mould Disease in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients have a higher risk of developing invasive mould diseases (IMD). Isavuconazole is a novel broad-spectrum azole active against Aspergillus spp. and Mucor, well tolerated, with an excellent bioavailability and predictable pharmacokinetics, that penetrates in most tissues rapidly, and has few serious adverse effects, including hepatic toxicity. Contrary to other broad-spectrum azoles, such as voriconazole and posaconazole, isavuconazole appears to show significant smaller drug-drug interactions with anticalcineurin drugs. We have performed an extensive literature review of the experience with the use of isavuconazole in SOT, which included the SOTIS and the ISASOT studies, and published case reports. More than 140 SOT recipients treated with isavuconazole for IMD were included. Most patients were lung and kidney recipients treated for an Aspergillus infection. Isavuconazole was well tolerated (less than 10% of patients required treatment discontinuation). The clinical responses appeared comparable to that found in other high-risk patient populations. Drug-drug interactions with immunosuppressive agents were manageable after the reduction of tacrolimus and the adjustment of mTOR inhibitors at the beginning of treatment. In conclusion, isavuconazole appears to be a reasonable option for the treatment of IMD in SOT. More clinical studies are warranted.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
