Filter by:Aim of the study to assess the neutropenia induced by Palbociclib in patient receiving Palbociclib in combination with hormonal treatment as first-line therapy in metastatic hormone receptor- positive HER2 negative breast cancer. To evaluate the risk factors for occurrence of neutropenia and treatment outcome as 2 years PFS and OS.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and evaluate the safety, and tolerability of mavorixafor in participants with congenital or acquired primary autoimmune and idiopathic chronic neutropenic disorders who are experiencing recurrent and/or serious infections as assessed by demonstrating its clinical benefit and increasing levels of circulating neutrophils.
This study proposes to assess the usability of the Neutrocheck device and test kit amongst healthy volunteers and healthcare professionals (HCPs). Neutrocheck is a portable, single-use diagnostic test intended to aid the diagnosis of neutropenia, febrile neutropenia and neutropenic sepsis using a finger prick blood sample. Neutropenia is when the number of infection-fighting neutrophil cells in the blood are lower than normal. It can be caused by treatments such as chemotherapy or by certain medical conditions. Neutropenic sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when patients with neutropenia develop an infection. There is currently no way to test for neutropenic sepsis outside of hospitals. Neutrocheck is being developed for use as a self-test by patients at home alongside remote consultation with a HCP or at point-of-care by a HCP. This will allow rapid identification of patients requiring urgent intravenous antibiotics and medical assessment. In cases where Neutrocheck has eliminated the possibility of neutropenic sepsis, patients can avoid unnecessary and stressful hospital visits and valuable hospital resources will be saved. Participants in this study will be invited to use the Neutrocheck test kit in a setting similar to a home environment to carry out a test, whilst being observed by a study moderator. The Neutrocheck devices used in the study will be for investigational use only. This study will not be testing the accuracy of the Neutrocheck result, rather if Neutrocheck can be used safely and in a user-friendly way. Results will not be considered valid. Planned study duration is 2 months. This approach will enable us to complete the current phase of development and advance to a clinical validation study of Neutrocheck, assessing the diagnostic accuracy of Neutrocheck amongst users including those at risk of neutropenia and neutropenic sepsis.
The aim of this prospective, observational, non-interventional, multi-centre study of the diagnostic use of DISQVER in neutropenic patients with FN is to provide further evidence of the efficacy of an NGS-based approach for detecting bloodstream infection in neutropenic patients.
Infections are a common complication in patients with cancer. They are a significant cause of complications and death in this population. Patients with cancer and low neutrophil counts due to chemotherapy or disease often have a fever and receive antibiotic treatment. The optimal duration of this treatment is largely unknown. Late, there have been some data suggesting the safety of early discontinuation of antibiotics, though most centers still give more prolonged antibiotic therapies in this situation. The unnecessary prolonged antibiotic use may increase infections with multi-drug-resistant bacteria, which carry a high death rate. Also, an increase in infections caused by Clostridioides difficile and an increase in fungal infections can happen. However, some are concerned that stopping antibiotics while the neutrophil count is still low will result in life-threatening infections. Our study aims to test whether shorter antibiotic treatment in these situations is as safe as more prolonged treatment, resulting in better antibiotic prescription practices in this population.
The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells in treatment-induced myelosuppression in patients with hematologic malignancies.
1. Evaluating the differences in the efficacy and safety of meropenem optimal dosing regimen predicted by the PPK/PD model combined with MAPB method for patients with malignant hematological myelopathy accompanied by fever, as compared with the current conventional treatment regimen; 2. The visualization software of meropenem individualized medication was developed with the help of JAVA development language, J2EE framework and SQL Server database.
IDION is currently seeking FDA approval for this device- the IDION iTempShield. It is a skin-safe, FDA complaint and non-invasive device that can read and monitor skin temperature. Having continuous temperature monitoring using the IDION iTempShield may provide early detection of a fever for patients with febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenic fever is common in patients receiving chemotherapy and can often indicate infection. The main potential benefit potenially experienced from participating in this study would be the early detection of fever. There is a potential benefit that infection will be detected earlier in subjects wearing the IDION iTempShield.
Treatment of patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) attending Emergency Departments (EDs) relies on rapid antibiotic initiation in order to control a presumed infection. The choice of initial antibiotics is empirical and depends on patient's prior colonization or infection by multi-drug resistant pathogens (MDRPs) and risk stratification. Stratification of high-risk patients needing broad-spectrum antibiotics is debated. Thus, for non-specialist physicians, this choice may be challenging, leading to inappropriate initial antimicrobial regimens, potential risks for the patient and higher costs. Furthermore, international guidelines recommended to develop antibiotic stewardship programs and promoted an initial strategy based on escalation or de-escalation approaches, with early reassessment depending on patients' clinical course and microbiological results. Nevertheless, this interesting strategy may increase the level of complexity for the choice of the initial antibiotic regimen by non-specialist emergency physicians who are often the first prescribers in this context. We developed an interactive computerized decision support app (CDSA) for initial antibiotic prescription and early revaluation in patients with FN. The first goal of this app is to assist non-specialized physicians in choosing initial antimicrobial regimen for patients with FN when they attend EDs. It uses an interactive algorithm based on international guidelines that takes into account patients' medical history and characteristics. Secondly, the app is also designed to propose an algorithm of antibiotic revaluation at day 3-4 for hospitalized patients, depending on patient clinical course, and biological and microbiological results. The revaluation suggests antimicrobial modification (escalation or de-escalation) or discontinuation and stopping rules with recommended duration of therapy also based on international guidelines. We hypothesize that such a CDSA may improve the adherence to guidelines for the choice of initial antibiotic regimen for FN in the ED, favour early antibiotic reassessment for hospitalized patients, both decreasing the risk of treatment failure.
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase III study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Amphotericin B liposomes in patients with persistent neutropenia and fever.
