Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Posaconazole pharmacokinetics

Experimental: Posaconazole prophylaxis - Blood samples will be taken from participants undergoing cancer treatment and receiving Posaconazole prophylaxis. The samples will be used for Posaconazole pharmacokinetics study.


Treatment: Drugs: Posaconazole pharmacokinetics
Blood samples will be collected on Days 7, 14 and 21 from the onset of Posaconazole prophylactic treatment If significant diarrhoea occurs, additional blood samples will be collected twice weekly until symptoms resolve. All blood samples will be used for Posaconazole pharmacokinetics study.
