Determination of Posaconazole Levels in Toenails of Adults with Onychomycosis following Oral Treatment with Four Regimens of Posaconazole for 12 or 24 Weeks▿

摘要

Pharmacokinetic data from a randomized, parallel-group, multicenter study are presented. Adults with toenail onychomycosis (n = 146) received posaconazole (100 mg, 200 mg, or 400 mg) once daily (QD) for 24 weeks or 400 mg QD for 12 weeks. The posaconazole concentration in the great toenail exhibited a dose-related increase starting at week 2 for 24 weeks and a mean toenail-to-plasma concentration ratio of approximately 3:1 at the end of treatment for the 400-mg 24-week dose.
