NOTE: The oral capsule and intravenous infusion formulations are bioequivalent. Dosage adjustment is not required when switching between formulations.

Oral Administration Oral Solid Formulations

May be administered with or without food.
Swallow capsules whole. Do not chew, crush, dissolve, or open the capsules.

Injectable Administration

Visually inspect parenteral products for particulate matter and discoloration. The reconstituted solution should be clear and free of visible particulates. The diluted solution may contain visible translucent to white particulates which will be removed by in-line filtration used during administration.

Intravenous Administration

Reconstitution:
Using aseptic technique, reconstitute the dry powder with 5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection. Each single-dose vial contains 372 mg of isavuconazonium sulfate (equivalent to 200 mg isavuconazole).
Gently shake the vial to ensure the powder is completely dissolved.
Storage: The reconstituted solution may be stored below 25 degrees C (77 degrees F) for a maximum of 1 hour before further dilution.
 
Dilution:
Remove 5 mL of the reconstituted solution from the vial and add it to 250 mL of either 0.9% Sodium Chloride or 5% Dextrose in Water to yield approximately 1.5 mg isavuconazonium sulfate/mL.
To minimize particulate formation, gently mix the solution or roll the bag. Do not vigorously shake. Avoid unnecessary vibrations. Do not place in a pneumatic transport system.
Apply an in-line filter with a microporous membrane pore size of 0.2 to 1.2 micron. Adhere an in-line filter reminder sticker to the infusion bag.
Complete administration of the infusion within 6 hours of dilution, at room temperature.
Storage: The diluted solution may be stored immediately after dilution at 2 to 8 degrees C (36 to 46 degrees F); however, administration must be completed within 24 hours of the time of dilution. Do not freeze.
 
Intermittent IV infusion:
Flush IV lines with 0.9% Sodium Chloride or 5% Dextrose in Water before and after administration of the infusion.
Administer through a 0.2 to 1.2 micron filter.
Administer by IV infusion over a minimum of 1 hour. Do not administer by intravenous bolus injection.

Other Administration Route(s)

Nasogastric Tube Administration
Using aseptic technique, reconstitute 1 vial of isavuconazonium injection (equivalent to 200 mg isavuconazole) with 5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection.
Gently shake the vial to ensure the powder is completely dissolved.
Withdraw the entire contents of the vial (5 mL) using an appropriate syringe and needle. Discard the needle and cap the syringe.
To administer, remove the cap from the syringe containing the reconstituted solution and connect the syringe to the nasogastric (NG) tube to deliver the dose.
After giving the dose, administer three 5 mL water rinses to the NG tube.
Storage: Administer the reconstituted solution by NG tube within 1 hour of reconstitution.

Oral and injectable azole antifungal
Used for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis or invasive mucormycosis
Bioequivalence between oral and intravenous formulations established

For the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis. Oral dosage Adults

Initiate treatment with a loading dose of 2 capsules (372 mg) PO every 8 hours for 6 doses. Then, beginning 12 to 24 hours after the last loading dose, administer a maintenance dose of 2 capsules (372 mg) PO once daily. IF SWITCHING FROM IV THERAPY: There is an established bioequivalence with the IV formulation; an additional loading dose is NOT required when switching the patient to PO dosing. The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends use of isavuconazole as an alternative therapy for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis. The doses recommended by the IDSA (i.e., 200 mg every 8 hours for 6 doses, followed by 200 mg daily) are expressed as isavuconazole equivalents for isavuconazonium sulfate. The IDSA recommends the following based on site of aspergillus infection: treat invasive pulmonary disease for a minimum of 6 to 12 weeks; treat osteomyelitis for a minimum of 8 weeks (prolonged therapy more than 6 months frequently required); consider lifelong antifungal therapy for endocarditis; systemic antifungal therapy plus surgery recommended for endocarditis, pericarditis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and invasive fungal sinuitis; systemic antifungal therapy with a consideration of surgery recommended for CNS infections, cutaneous infections, hepatic infections, and invasive otomycosis; systemic and intravitreal antifungal therapy recommended for endophthalmitis; peritoneal catheter removal plus 6 to 8 weeks of systemic antifungal therapy recommended for peritonitis.

Intravenous dosage Adults

Initiate treatment with a loading dose of 372 mg IV every 8 hours for 6 doses. Then, 12 to 24 hours after the last loading dose, administer a maintenance dose of 372 mg IV once daily. The IV infusion set must contain a 0.2 to 1.2 micron in-line filter and be administered over a minimum of 1 hour.

Hepatic Impairment

No dosage adjustments are needed for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A or B). Isavuconazonium has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C); give considerable consideration to risks and benefits before administering to patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Renal Impairment

Specific guidelines for dosage adjustments in renal impairment are not available; it appears that no dosage adjustments are needed.

Abacavir; Dolutegravir; Lamivudine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with dolutegravir may result in increased serum concentrations of dolutegravir. Dolutegravir is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4 and drug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp); isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and P-gp. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Abemaciclib: (Moderate) Monitor for an increase in abemaciclib-related adverse reactions if coadministration with isavuconazonium is necessary; consider reducing the dose of abemaciclib in 50-mg decrements if toxicities occur. Discontinue abemaciclib for patients unable to tolerate 50 mg twice daily. Abemaciclib is a CYP3A4 substrate and isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration with other moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors is predicted to increase the relative potency adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib plus its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by approximately 1.6- to 2.4-fold.
Acalabrutinib: (Major) Decrease the acalabrutinib dose to 100 mg PO once daily if coadministered with isavuconazonium. Coadministration may result in increased acalabrutinib exposure and toxicity (e.g., infection, bleeding, and atrial arrhythmias). Acalabrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; isavuconazonium is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. In physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulations, the Cmax and AUC values of acalabrutinib were increased by 2- to almost 3-fold when acalabrutinib was coadministered with moderate CYP3A inhibitors.
Acetaminophen: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with acetaminophen may result in increased serum concentrations of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.

Acetaminophen is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of dihydrocodeine with isavuconazonium may increase dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, resulting in greater metabolism by CYP2D6, increased dihydromorphine concentrations, and prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage reduction of dihydrocodeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of isavuconazonium could decrease dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy, and potentially lead to a withdrawal syndrome in those with physical dependence to dihydrocodeine. If isavuconazonium is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider increasing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Isavuconazonium is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, an isoenzyme partially responsible for the metabolism of dihydrocodeine. (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with acetaminophen may result in increased serum concentrations of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme.

Acetaminophen is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Acetaminophen; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with isavuconazonium may increase codeine plasma concentrations, resulting in greater metabolism by CYP2D6, increased morphine concentrations, and prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage reduction of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of isavuconazonium could decrease codeine plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy, and potentially lead to a withdrawal syndrome in those with physical dependence to codeine. If isavuconazonium is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider increasing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Isavuconazonium is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4.

Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Acetaminophen; Hydrocodone: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with acetaminophen may result in increased serum concentrations of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together. (Moderate) Consider a reduced dose of hydrocodone with frequent monitoring for respiratory depression and sedation if concurrent use of isavuconazonium is necessary. It is recommended to avoid this combination when hydrocodone is being used for cough. Hydrocodone is a CYP3A4 substrate, and coadministration with CYP3A4 inhibitors like isavuconazonium can increase hydrocodone exposure resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects including fatal respiratory depression, particularly when an inhibitor is added to a stable dose of hydrocodone. These effects could be more pronounced in patients also receiving a CYP2D6 inhibitor. If isavuconazonium is discontinued, hydrocodone plasma concentrations will decrease resulting in reduced efficacy of the opioid and potential withdrawal syndrome in a patient who has developed physical dependence to hydrocodone.
Acetaminophen; Ibuprofen: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with acetaminophen may result in increased serum concentrations of acetaminophen.

Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Adagrasib: (Contraindicated) Coadministration of isavuconazonium with adagrasib is contraindicated due to the risk of increased isavuconazole exposure. Isavuconazole is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A and adagrasib is a strong CYP3A inhibitor. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A inhibitor increased isavuconazole exposure by 422%.
Albuterol; Budesonide: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with budesonide may result in increased serum concentrations of budesonide. Budesonide is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4 and drug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp); isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and P-gp. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Aldesleukin, IL-2: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with aldesleukin, IL-2 may result in increased serum concentrations of isavuconazonium. Isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A4; aldesleukin is an inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.

Aliskiren is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Almotriptan: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with almotriptan may result in increased serum concentrations of almotriptan. Almotriptan is a substrate of the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Alprazolam: (Major) Avoid coadministration of alprazolam and isavuconazonium due to the potential for elevated alprazolam concentrations, which may cause prolonged sedation and respiratory depression. If coadministration is necessary, consider reducing the dose of alprazolam as clinically appropriate and monitor for an increase in alprazolam-related adverse reactions. Lorazepam, oxazepam, or temazepam may be safer alternatives if a benzodiazepine must be administered in combination with isavuconazonium, as these benzodiazepines are not oxidatively metabolized. Alprazolam is a CYP3A4 substrate. Isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4. Coadministration with other moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increased alprazolam exposure by 1.6- to 1.98-fold.

Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are used together.
Apalutamide: (Contraindicated) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with apalutamide is contraindicated due to the potential for decreased isavuconazole serum concentrations and treatment failure. Isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a sensitive substrate of hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; apalutamide is a strong inducer of this enzyme. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased isavuconazole serum concentrations by 97%.
Aprepitant, Fosaprepitant: (Major) Avoid the concomitant use of isavuconazonium with aprepitant, fosaprepitant due to substantially increased exposure of aprepitant; increased isavuconazonium exposure may also occur. If coadministration cannot be avoided, use caution and monitor for an increase in isavuconazonium- and aprepitant-related adverse effects for several days after administration of a multi-day aprepitant regimen. Isavuconazonium is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor and aprepitant is a CYP3A4 substrate. Coadministration of daily oral aprepitant (230 mg, or 1.8 times the recommended single dose) with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, diltiazem, increased the aprepitant AUC 2-fold with a concomitant 1.7-fold increase in the diltiazem AUC; clinically meaningful changes in ECG, heart rate, or blood pressure beyond those induced by diltiazem alone did not occur. Isavuconazonium is also a CYP3A4 substrate. Aprepitant, when administered as a 3-day oral regimen (125 mg/80 mg/80 mg), is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor and inducer and may increase plasma concentrations of isavuconazonium. For example, a 5-day oral aprepitant regimen increased the AUC of another CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam (single dose), by 2.3-fold on day 1 and by 3.3-fold on day 5. After a 3-day oral aprepitant regimen, the AUC of midazolam (given on days 1, 4, 8, and 15) increased by 25% on day 4, and then decreased by 19% and 4% on days 8 and 15, respectively. As a single 125 mg or 40 mg oral dose, the inhibitory effect of aprepitant on CYP3A4 is weak, with the AUC of midazolam increased by 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively. After administration, fosaprepitant is rapidly converted to aprepitant and shares many of the same drug interactions. However, as a single 150 mg intravenous dose, fosaprepitant only weakly inhibits CYP3A4 for a duration of 2 days; there is no evidence of CYP3A4 induction. Fosaprepitant 150 mg IV as a single dose increased the AUC of midazolam (given on days 1 and 4) by approximately 1.8-fold on day 1; there was no effect on day 4. Less than a 2-fold increase in the midazolam AUC is not considered clinically important.
Aripiprazole: (Moderate) Monitor for aripiprazole-related adverse reactions during concomitant use of isavuconazonium. Patients receiving both a CYP2D6 inhibitor plus isavuconazonium may require an aripiprazole dosage adjustment. Dosing recommendations vary based on aripiprazole dosage form, CYP2D6 inhibitor strength, and CYP2D6 metabolizer status. See prescribing information for details. Concomitant use may increase aripiprazole exposure and risk for side effects. Aripiprazole is a CYP3A and CYP2D6 substrate; isavuconazonium is a moderate CYP3A inhibitor.
Armodafinil: (Major) Coadministration of isavuconazonium with armodafinil is not recommended as there is a potential for elevated armodafinil concentrations and decreased concentrations of isavuconazonium. Decreased isavuconazonium concentrations may lead to a reduction of antifungal efficacy and the potential for treatment failure. Armodafinil is a CYP3A4 substrate/inducer. Isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a sensitive substrate and moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4.
Artemether; Lumefantrine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with artemether; lumefantrine may result in increased serum concentrations of artemether; lumefantrine.

Aspirin, ASA; Carisoprodol; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with isavuconazonium may increase codeine plasma concentrations, resulting in greater metabolism by CYP2D6, increased morphine concentrations, and prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage reduction of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of isavuconazonium could decrease codeine plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy, and potentially lead to a withdrawal syndrome in those with physical dependence to codeine. If isavuconazonium is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider increasing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Isavuconazonium is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4.

(Contraindicated) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with atazanavir is contraindicated due to the risk for increased isavuconazole serum concentrations and serious adverse reactions, such as hepatic toxicity. Isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium, is a sensitive substrate of hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; atazanavir is a strong inhibitor of this enzyme. According to the manufacturer, coadministration of isavuconazole with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated. Isavuconazole serum concentrations were increased 5-fold when coadministered with ketoconazole, another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Elevated atazanavir concentrations would also be expected with coadministration, as atazanavir is a CYP3A4 substrate and isavuconazole is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.
Atorvastatin: (Major) Use caution and the lowest atorvastatin dose necessary if coadministration with isavuconazonium is necessary due to an increased risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Carefully weigh the potential benefits and risk of combined therapy.

Coadministration with another P-gp inhibitor increased berotralstat exposure by 69%.
Betrixaban: (Major) Avoid betrixaban use in patients with severe renal impairment receiving isavuconazonium. Reduce betrixaban dosage to 80 mg PO once followed by 40 mg PO once daily in all other patients receiving isavuconazonium. Bleeding risk may be increased; monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of bleeding. Betrixaban is a substrate of P-gp; isavuconazonium inhibits P-gp.
Bexarotene: (Major) Concomitant use of isavuconazonium with bexarotene may result in decreased concentrations of isavuconazonium.

Isavuconazonium is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4. If isavuconazonium is used in combination with brexpiprazole and a moderate to strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, the brexpiprazole dose should be reduced and the patient should be carefully monitored for brexpiprazole-related adverse reactions. A reduction of the brexpiprazole dose to 25% of the usual dose is also recommended in patients who are poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 and are receiving a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.
Brigatinib: (Major) Avoid coadministration of brigatinib with isavuconazonium if possible due to increased plasma exposure of brigatinib; an increase in brigatinib-related adverse reactions may occur. If concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce the dose of brigatinib by approximately 40% without breaking tablets (i.e., from 180 mg to 120 mg; from 120 mg to 90 mg; from 90 mg to 60 mg); after discontinuation of isavuconazonium, resume the brigatinib dose that was tolerated prior to initiation of isavuconazonium. Brigatinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; isavuconazonium is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor is predicted to increase the AUC of brigatinib by approximately 40%.
Bromocriptine: (Major) When bromocriptine is used for diabetes, do not exceed a dose of 1.6 mg once daily during concomitant use of isavuconazonium.

Like other azole antifungals, isavuconazole (the active metabolite of isavuconazonium) exerts its antifungal activity by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membrane. Azole antifungals block ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting 14-alpha demethylase, a cytochrome P450 dependent enzyme, which is needed to convert lanosterol to ergosterol. The depletion of ergosterol within the fungal cell membrane results in increased cellular permeability causing leakage of cellular contents.
 
Isavuconazole displays antifungal activity (both in vitro and in clinical infections) against most strains of Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Rizopus oryzae, and Mucormycetes species. Unlike other azole antifungals, isavuconazonium is not indicated for the treatment of infections cause by other fungal species, such as Candida, Blastomyces, nor Histoplasma.
 
The mechanism of resistance to isavuconazonium is likely due to multiple mechanisms, including substitutions in the target gene CYP51. Changes in sterol profile and increased efflux pump activity have been observed; however, the clinical relevance of these findings is unclear. In vitro and animal studies suggest cross-resistance between isavuconazole and other azoles; patients failing prior azole therapy may require alternative antifungal therapy.

Isavuconazonium is administered orally, by nasogastric tube, or intravenously. Once in systemic circulation, esterases (primarily butylcholinesterase) present in the blood rapidly hydrolyze isavuconazonium to isavuconazole, the active drug component. Isavuconazole is highly protein bound (more than 99%, primarily to albumin) and has a mean steady-state Vd of about 450 L. Isavuconazole is initially metabolized in the liver by CYP3A4/5 enzymes, with subsequent metabolism involving uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT). It is excreted almost entirely as inactive metabolites. The mean plasma half-life is approximately 130 hours.
 
Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP3A4, CYP3A5, UGT, P-gp, OCT2
In vivo single- and multiple-dose drug interaction studies show that isavuconazole is both a substrate and moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, a substrate of CYP3A5 and uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), and a mild inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2). In vitro, it inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6, and induces CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, and CYP2C9; drug interaction studies did not display drug-drug effects specific to these isoenzymes in vivo.

Oral Route

Isavuconazole has an absolute oral bioavailability of 98% after administration of isavuconazonium, and maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) are achieved within 2 to 3 hours. Drug exposures (AUC) increase proportionally to increases in dose and are similar for administration of the oral capsule by mouth and the intravenous solution by nasogastric tube. Food has minimal effect on drug exposure, with a high-fat meal reducing both the Cmax and AUC by 9%. The route of elimination varies depending on the route of administration, and an orally administered dose is eliminated in both the feces (46.1%) and urine (45.5%).

Intravenous Route

During the 1 hour intravenous infusion, maximal plasma concentrations of isavuconazonium (prodrug) and the inactive cleavage product were detectable; at the end of administration concentrations rapidly declined and isavuconazonium was below the level of detection within 15 minutes. The total exposure of isavuconazonium based on AUC was less than 1% that of isavuconazole. The route of elimination varies depending on the route of administration, and 95% of an intravenously administered dose is eliminated in the urine.

Pregnancy

Opportunistic infection guidelines recommend the use of an alternative antifungal agent during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester.[34362] There are no data available on the use of isavuconazonium in human pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes; however, based on findings from animal studies, isavuconazonium may cause fetal harm. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. In animal reproduction studies, perinatal mortality was increased in the offspring of pregnant rats given oral isavuconazonium 90 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the clinical exposure based on AUC comparisons) during pregnancy through the weaning period. Isavuconazonium use was associated with dose-related increases in the incidences of rudimentary cervical ribs in rats and rabbits at 30 and 45 mg/kg, respectively, doses equivalent to about 0.2 and 0.1 of the human maintenance dose based on AUC comparisons. In rats, dose-related increases in the incidences of zygomatic arch fusion and supernumerary ribs or rudimentary supernumerary ribs were also noted at 30 mg/kg and above, equivalent to one-fifth the maintenance human dose based on AUC comparison.[59042]

Discontinue breast-feeding during treatment with isavuconazonium. There are no data on the presence of isavuconazonium in human milk, the effects on the breast-fed infant, or the effects on milk production. Isavuconazonium was present in the milk of lactating rats after intravenous administration.
