BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the optimal secondary antifungal prophylaxis (SAP) regimen in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of posaconazole oral suspension as secondary prophylaxis of invasive fungal disease (IFD) for allo-HSCT patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical data from prior IFD patients who received posaconazole oral suspension as systemic antifungal prophylaxis between June 2016 and January 2021 and have a follow-up period of 1 year after HSCT. The clinical outcomes of patients with a prior history of IFD (n = 30) and those without (n = 93) were compared. RESULTS The 1-year cumulative incidence of prophylaxis failure was 58.3% in the group with prior history of IFD and 41.6% in the group without a prior history of IFD (p = 0.459). The cumulative incidence of proven, probable or possible IFD within 1 year after allo-HSCT was 23.1% in the group with prior history of IFD and 14.1% in the group without prior history of IFD (p = 0.230). There was no significant difference between the cumulative incidence of proven or probable IFD within 1-year after allo-HSCT in the group with a prior history of IFD and the group without (p = 0.807). Multivariate logistic regression revealed cytomegalovirus disease as risk factor for post-transplantation IFD occurrence in posaconazole oral suspension prophylaxis. There was not a significant difference in overall survival between the patients with IFD history and those without (P = 0.559). CONCLUSIONS Our study support that allo-HSCT recipients with a prior history of IFD and normal GI absorption can choose posaconazole oral suspension as a safe and effective SAP option.
