Filter by:Every year approximately 300 Danish patients die from lymphoma. The median age at diagnosis is 70 years. Lymphoma can be efficiently treated with chemotherapy, and potentially cured. However, sufficient treatment is often hampered by toxicity, especially in elderly patients. It is also well known that the main risk factor for dying of lymphoma is age. New biologically targeted therapies with fewer side effects are becoming available for lymphoma treatment, however it is currently difficult to delineate which patients benefit from chemotherapy and which should be treated with novel expensive therapies. Recently, it has been discovered that chemotherapy can provoke growth of patient blood cells with DNA mutations. This leads to increased rates of treatment side effects and excess mortality. These defects have so far only been examined in younger patients below 70 years of age, where they are found in roughly 10% of patients. It remains unknown to what extent elderly individuals are affected, but the investigators hypothesize that the proportion and negative effects are much larger. Therefore, the investigators propose to investigate the frequency and evolution of these DNA mutations during chemotherapy in a prospective study of patients, who are either above 60 years of age and previously treated with chemotherapy for lymphoma in a nation-wide collaboration. By using blood samples, advanced genetic analyses and patient-reported questionnaires, the investigators will study - The prevalence of these mutations and their consequences for patient wellbeing, treatment side effects (such as anemia, infections etc.) and mortality - The kinetics of these mutations during and after treatment, and explore possible evolutionary patterns of the inferred damages The investigators expect to include 300 patients in the study and that the first results will be ready in a timeframe of 4 years. The investigators hope to obtain new insights in the risk factors for physiological and mental health in lymphoma patients and thereby pave the way for improvements in wellbeing and survival of this underserved population.
Neutropenia is one of the most frequent adverse effects of chemotherapy, and the main factor to limit the dosage and the continuation of chemotherapy.A newly pegylated rhG-CSF was independently developed by JIANGSU HENGRUI Medicine Co., Ltd, China. Phase 1a, 1b and phase 2 trials have shown that pegylated rhG-CSF has decreased renal clearance, increased plasma half-life, and prolonged efficacy in compare with filgrastim. This study is to evaluate efficacy and safety in chemotherapy-induced neutropenia of once-per-cycle Mecapegfilgrastim Injection(PEG-G-CSF) and daily G-CSF in Patients with lymphoma patients.
This study aims to analyze the effects of long-acting versus short-acting granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the prevention febrile neutropenia (FN) in epithelial ovarian cancer patients. Patients receive platinum-based chemotherapy of 3 to 4 weeks. Patients are randomized into study group and control group. In study group, patients accept long-acting G-CSF 48 hours from the chemotherapy. While the control group accept regular or prophylactic treatment of short-acting G-CSF according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. The primary end is the incidence of FN in every course of chemotherapy. The secondary ends include: the incidences of myelosuppression, doses of G-CSF and its expenses, visits to outpatient and emergency clinics, adverse events related to G-CSF, quality of life, and survival outcomes (progression-free survival and overall survival).
Chemotherapy places patients at an increased risk of infection. A medication called granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is given as a daily injection in order to help decrease the risk of infection. The purpose of this study is to determine the best time to begin granulocyte colony-stimulating factor while maintaining the same clinical benefits. The current study aims to fill these research gaps and address the general question: Can G-CSF safely be given 72 hours following the last day of chemotherapy without increasing the incidence of febrile neutropenia, the duration of neutropenia, or causing increased delays in the next course of chemotherapy.
This study aims to analyze the effects of long-acting granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the prevention febrile neutropenia (FN) in gynecologic cancer patients. Patients all accepted platinum-based chemotherapy 3-4 weeks once per course. The primary end is the incidence of FN in every course of chemotherapy. After the chemotherapy, patients accepted long-acting G-CSF and/or short-acting G-CSF. The secondary ends include: the incidences of myelosuppression, doses of G-CSF and its expenses, visits to outpatient and emergency clinics, adverse events related to G-CSF.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegteograstim on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in children with solid tumors
The purpose of the present trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics(PK)/pharmacodynamics(PD) of single subcutaneous injection of GW003 in breast cancer patients. Moreover, the efficacy will be assessed preliminary.
This is an investigation of the safety and efficacy of Maxy-G34 in breast cancer patients treated with TAC chemotherapy. Maxy-G34 will be given as a single injection during each cycle of chemotherapy, for a planned total of six chemotherapy cycles.
