Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Acyclovir may be effective in preventing herpes simplex virus infection in patients with neutropenia.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects of acyclovir and is comparing two doses of acyclovir in preventing herpes simplex virus infection in patients with neutropenia.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- To determine the difference in nephrotoxicity between low-dose and weight-based intravenous acyclovir sodium as herpes simplex virus infection prophylaxis in patients with neutropenia.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive weight-based IV acyclovir sodium every 8 or 12 hours.

- Arm II: Patients receive low-dose IV acyclovir sodium every 8 or 12 hours. Treatment continues for approximately 2 weeks unless clinical herpes simplex virus infection is confirmed or the patient is no longer neutropenic. ;
