The recommended dosage regimen for caspofungin in patients with higher body weight or hypoalbuminaemia will result in low exposure: Five years of data based on a population pharmacokinetic model and Monte-Carlo simulations

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: To develop a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model for caspofungin, identify parameters influencing caspofungin pharmacokinetics, and assess the required probability of target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) for ...

Elevated Vacuolar Uptake of Fluorescently Labeled Antifungal Drug Caspofungin Predicts Echinocandin Resistance in Pathogenic Yeast

ACS Central Science, 2020
Echinocandins are the newest class of antifungal drugs in clinical use. These agents inhibit β-glucan synthase, which catalyzes the synthesis of β-glucan, an essential component of the fungal cell wall, and have a high clinical efficacy and low toxicity.

Long‐term outcome after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for GATA2 deficiency: An analysis of 67 adults and children from France and Belgium

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The overall survival of patients receiving an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for GATA2 deficiency was significantly better if they were transplanted recently, with a bone marrow or cord blood graft and if the transplant was performed before the onset of excess blast. Excess blast before HSCT was the only factor associated with an

Caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ as a first‐line therapy for moderate‐to‐severe PCP in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection

HIV Medicine, 2020
The effectiveness of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is limited with adverse events. Caspofungin, by inhibiting the cyst form of Pneumocystis jirovecii, may be an alternative therapy for PCP.
