Amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (Amphocil) vs fluconazole for the prevention of fungal infections in neutropenic patients: data of a prematurely stopped clinical trial.

Abstract:

:We conducted an open label, randomised clinical trial to compare amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (ABCD, Amphocil) 2 mg/kg/day intravenously with fluconazole 200 mg/day orally, for the prevention of fungal disease in neutropenic patients with haematological malignancies. In the event of unresolved fever after 4 days of empirical antibacterial therapy, patients in both treatment groups were to receive ABCD, 4 mg/kg/day. However, the study had to be stopped in an early phase, due to severe side-effects of ABCD. A total of 24 patients were enrolled, 12 patients were randomly assigned to receive prophylactic ABCD, which was administered for a mean of 13.9 days. Fluconazole prophylaxis was given to 12 patients for a mean of 21.2 days. Therapeutic ABCD, 4 mg/kg, was initiated in four patients because of suspected fungal infection, all of whom had initially received fluconazole. A high rate of infusion-related toxicity of ABCD was observed. Chills occurred in 15/16 ABCD recipients (94%), accompanied by a temperature rise of >/=2 degrees C in 4/16 patients and of >/=1 degrees C but <2 degrees C in 10/16 patients. Other ABCD-related adverse events were hypotension (4/16), nausea with vomiting (5/16), tachycardia (7/16), headache (3/16) and dyspnoea (3/16). For premedication patients received: antihistamines (12/16), hydrocortisone (9/16) and/or morphine (6/16). ABCD was discontinued in 8/16 patients (50%) due to side-effects, which ultimately dictated early termination of the study. We conclude that ABCD is not suitable for antifungal prophylaxis in neutropenic patients due to severe infusion-related side-effects. Subject numbers were too low for conclusions on variables of antifungal efficacy.
