Steady-state IV and oral voriconazole exposures were used as the estimates for AEs that occurred on nonpharmacokinetic days.
Adverse event(s) resulted in permanent discontinuation.
This subject received esomeprazole throughout the study.
This subject was the CYP2C19 PM, who discontinued on day 4, and these events were resolved on days 5 and 6.
These events were also reported as serious AEs, which were resolved on oral treatment day 10 without any alteration of the study drug.
ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransfearse; GGT, gamma glutamyltransferase.
