Navigating Therapeutic drug monitoring of Isavuconazole in Invasive Mold Infection on Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation - A Case Report.
Article in Innovations in pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIsavuconazole is an azole antifungal with extended activity against yeast and molds. It is highly lipophilic, largely protein bound, and has a large volume of distribution. Critically ill patients exhibit altered pharmacokinetics (PK) of antimicrobials due to physiologic changes and other organ support modalities, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Azole antifungals, including isavuconazole, are prone to significant reduction in serum concentrations during ECMO support as a result of sequestration in the circuit and mechanical destruction of the drug via centrifugal pump, often necessitating therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Herein, we report a case of a young male treated for suspected invasive pulmonary aspergillosis who was placed on ECMO and treated with isavuconazole. Despite escalating doses and intense TDM, therapeutic concentrations were unable to be achieved. The patient was switched to voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B. The patient achieved clinical improvement and switched back to isavuconazole to complete a 12-week course after ECMO decannulation occurred. This case highlights the importance of isavuconazole TDM, especially during ECMO, and consideration of alternative agents if necessary.
