Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Posaconazole Tablet in Participants at High Risk for Invasive Fungal Infections (MK-5592-065/P05615)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect pharmacokinetic (PK) information related to how well posaconazole tablet is distributed in the body and to determine the safety of this new formulation. The study consists of a Phase 1B study that includes participants with neutropenia undergoing chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplasia (MDS) and a Phase 3 study that includes participants who are undergoing chemotherapy for AML or MDS and participants who are recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
