Filter by:Febrile neutropenia (NF) is a common serious complication of cancer chemotherapy. Outpatient management of chemotherapy treatments is made essential by the volume of patients treated, respect for their quality of life and the lack of hospitalization resources. The prevention of NF is well documented and its success depends on the risks of developing NF related to the type of chemotherapy protocol used and the profile of the patient and his disease. Pegfilgrastim (G-CSF, biosimilar medicine) injection has been shown to prevent (febrile) neutropenia. It is routinely prescribed on an outpatient basis for patients treated with chemotherapy (CT), several thousand times a year in our geographical area. In order to take into account patient preferences and help clinical decision-making, this study will be conducted on the basis of self-administered questionnaires. The aim of the research is to assess patient preference for receiving administration of PELGRAZ (Accord Healthcare) using a prefilled syringe or a prefilled pen device. In a second step, this study will evaluate the learning of the patient and his autonomy during a pen self-injection guided by a nurse.
BioSticker data is remotely tracked and displayed in a report termed the BioReport for retrospective data analysis. Typically, the biosensor collects data on an interval of ~1 minute and this data is collated and reported remotely back to the BioReport every 6 hours. More importantly, for future applications of the BioSticker for early detection of FN, there are ongoing efforts to implement real time reporting and alarms using remote monitoring services that could alert the patient that they need to seek medical care. There are no known deleterious effects from the BioSticker and it is now being widely used and tested in diverse applications including detection and contact tracing of COVID and others.
This is an open label trial in which letermovir will be given as prophylaxis for the prevention of CMV infection and disease to all heart transplants who are at risk for cytomegalovirus. The study will compare a 30 patient prospective cohort to a retrospective cohort of 374 heart transplant recipients for the rates of neutropenia. In addition, the tolerability of letermovir will be assessed in this population.
In this prospective monocenter observational study, the objective was to determine a safe and effective therapeutic window for cefepime in patients with neutropenic fever.
This is a 2-part study of mavorixafor in participants diagnosed with chronic neutropenia. The main goal of Part 1 (Phase 1b) is to help researchers learn more about how the investigational medicine, mavorixafor, impacts people living with chronic neutropenia (including congenital, idiopathic, and cyclic). In Part 2 (Phase 2), the safety and tolerability of chronic dosing of mavorixafor will be evaluated in a larger participant population and the impact of 6-month chronic dosing of mavorixafor on participant neutropenia.
Oral and intestinal mucositis are major risk factors for the occurrence of fever during neutropenia and bloodstream infections after intensive chemo- and radiotherapy. These complications often require dose reductions or cause delay of treatment, and thereby interfere with optimal anticancer treatment. Currently, there are no effective strategies to prevent or treat mucositis and the related complications. The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has shown to be pivotal in the pathogenesis of mucositis and recently, it has been established in murine models that IL-1 inhibition significantly ameliorates chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis. The investigators recently conducted a phase IIa study (AFFECT-1, NCT03233776) studying the safety and maximum tolerated dose of anakinra, a recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist in adult patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose melphalan (HDM) in the preparation for an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) who are at high risk for experiencing mucositis and fever during neutropenia (FN). Since treatment with anakinra has shown to be safe in this study population, the investigators will continue with a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled multicenter phase IIb trial to establish efficacy in the management of fever during neutropenia and mucositis.
This phase II trial studies how well fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation, and donor stem cell transplant work in treating patients with blood cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient?s immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the percentage of patients with Duration of Severe Neutropenia (DSN) =0 in patients treated with: Docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) + pegfilgrastim versus Docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) + combination plinabulin/pegfilgrastim Severe neutropenia is an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <0.5 × 10^9/L. Docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) will be used as the chemotherapy in this study.
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a major life-threatening treatment complication in cancer patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Endogenous flora is considered to be one of the main sources of infections during neutropenia. Competitive inhibition of gut mucosal colonization by pathogenic microorganisms using synbiotics could represent one of the potential options for its prevention. Synbiotics represent combination of two components: probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms, which in form of drugs or food supplements administered at a sufficient dose help to maintain health beneficial microbial balance in the digestive tract of a human or other host. Prebiotics are food ingredients nondigestible for our digestive enzymes, but can be fermented by bacteria in our bowel and this way selectively stimulate growth or activity of specific saccharolytic bacterial strains. These changes in composition of our microflora may bring benefits on host well-being and health. Based on the results of human and animal studies, probiotics probably can not only decrease the level of gut colonisation with pathogenic bacteria, but may also lead to reduction in the duration of neutropenia, accelerate the restitution of the intestinal mucosa and boost immunity. Despite a significant number of studies on probiotics still only little evidence of their safety especially in immunocompromised patients is available. To help find new options for increasing quality of healthcare for children cancer patients and also to evaluate safety of this new approach investigators designed double-blinded placebo controled multicenter study aimed to decrease the number of febrile episodes using prevention with synbiotic.
BCD-017-3 is an double-blind randomized phase III clinical study to compare the incidence of CTCAE grade 3/4 neutropenia after a single administration of recombinant human pegylated filgrastim empegfilgrastim (Extimia®) at a dose of 6 or 7,5 mg versus daily administration of filgrastim at a dose of 5 μg/kg/day for neutropenia prophylaxis in breast cancer patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy. The study also includes the following determination of pharmacokinetic parameters after repeated administration of the study drug.
