摘要
AmBisome (R) 0.5 to 4 mg/kg/day, a small unilamellar liposome encapsulating amphotericin B, was administered to 59 patients with mycologically confirmed infections (36 had candidiasis, 18 had aspergillosis and 5 had other infections). Of the treated patients, 37 (63%) were considered cured, 9 (15%) improved, and 13 (22%) failed to respond. The response rate in patients with candidiasis was 83% (30/36) compared with 61% (11/18) for aspergillosis (not significant). All other mycoses were cured or improved. 80% (16) of 20 evaluable patients were cured or improved when AmBisome (R) was used because of the prior failure of conventional amphotericin B in a compassionate basis trial. AmBisome (R) at dose levels ranging between 2 and 4 mg/kg produced peak plasma levels ranging from 16.0 +/- 6.7 to 46.0 +/- 10.2 mg/L. Tissue levels were highest in liver and spleen and were low in kidney and lung. Side effects associated with AmBisome (R) included increases in serum creatinine (n = 9) and alkaline phosphatase (2), hypokalaemia (3) and pancreatitis (1).
