Study characteristics
Methods Randomization in a 1:1 ratio in permuted blocks (size not stated).
Participants 600 patients with leukaemia or other haematopoietic disorders receiving
allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation treated prophylactically with either voriconazole or fluconazole.
Interventions Voriconazole: 200 mg orally twice daily for 100 days.
Fluconazole 400 mg once daily for 100 days.
Outcomes Primary outcome: Fungal free survival at 180 days
Secondary outcomes: incidence of invasive fungal infections. Time to invasive fungal infections. Six month and 1 year relapse free survival. Overall survival. Time to and duration of empiric antifungal therapy. Frequency of adverse events. Incidence of acute or chronic graft‐versus‐host disease
Notes The follow‐up period was 180 days and 1 year
Supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health and an "unrestricted educational grant" from Pfizer
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk 1:1 permutated blocks, unclear if allocation concealment was obtained
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias)
All outcomes Low risk The clinician, patient and the data review board were blinded
