Inclusion Criteria:



- Pediatric patients who are under chemotherapy, and receive itraconazole.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with significant functional deficits in major organs, but the following
eligibility criteria may be modified in individual cases.

- Heart : fractional shortening < 30%, ejection fraction < 45%

- Liver : total bilirubin ≥ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) ; aminotransferase ≥ 3
x ULN

- Kidney : creatinine ≥ 2 x normal or GFR ≤ 60㎖/min/1.73㎡

2. Patients with hypersensitivity to azoles.

3. Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the
safety monitoring requirements of the study.

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:
