a

Steady-state IV and oral voriconazole exposures were used as the estimates for AEs that occurred on nonpharmacokinetic days.

b

Adverse event(s) resulted in permanent discontinuation.

c

This subject received esomeprazole throughout the study.

d

This subject was the CYP2C19 PM, who discontinued on day 4, and these events were resolved on days 5 and 6.

e

These events were also reported as serious AEs, which were resolved on oral treatment day 10 without any alteration of the study drug.

f

ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransfearse; GGT, gamma glutamyltransferase.
