Filter by:This is prospective and randomized study to compare the pharmacodynamics (t>MIC) of 0.5 g every 6 h of imipenem in twelve patients with febrile neutropenia following administration by a 4 h infusion or bolus injection. Concentration of imipenem in plasma will be measured by HPLC method and simulated in Monte Carlo technique (Computer model) to get PK/PD index (40%T>MIC) and reported to %PTA (Probability Target Attainment) and %CFR (Cumulative Faction Response.
To estimate the incidence of febrile neutropenia in patients with breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma receiving high (> 20%) FN-risk chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim primary prophylaxis.
A multicenter open-label non-inferiority randomized clinical trial comparing the safety (non-inferiority) of short antibiotic treatment (72 hours) with an anti-pseudomonal carbapenem with regard to treatment failure in comparison with extended treatment (at least 9 days) of high-risk febrile neutropenia in hematology patients receiving standard antimicrobial prophylaxis.
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 trials have shown that pegylated rhG-CSF has decreased renal clearance, increased plasma half-life, and prolonged efficacy in compare with rhG-CSF. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of pegylated rhG-CSF in preventing neutropenia following chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) is a new value in CBC blood tests Recent Studies showed that this value may be another prognostic factor in critically ill patients such as those admitted to ICU, or those with neutropenic Fever. The purpose of the study is to check if the IPF may be used as a prognostic Factor in these patients
To evaluate EC/TC (epirubicin and cyclophosphomide or docetaxel and cyclophosphomide) with EC/TC plus DBD (Danggui Buxue Decoction) in adjuvant treatment of breast cancer patients. The aim is to evaluate whether DBD can decrease the incidence of grade 3/4 neutropenia induced by EC/TC regimen during chemotherapy.
This is a prospective observational study investigating how physicians assess the risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) developing in patients who will receive chemotherapy. Approximately 150-200 investigators will take part in about 100 sites in Europe, Canada and Australia. Approximately 1000 subjects will be studied, all of whom will have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or breast cancer and will be due to receive one of the specific chemotherapy regimens of interest. Investigators' approach to FN risk assessment will be studied using lists of possible risk factors they may consider during their assessment. Investigators will be asked to select and rank the factors they consider the most important when assessing the overall FN risk of a subject and when making the decision whether to treat with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) primary prophylaxis (PP). They will be asked to make these selections based initially on their own routine clinical practise and subsequently relating specifically to each subject recruited. This is a non-interventional study that involves no procedures outside normal care for the subjects; all data collection will be completed prior to chemotherapy administration.
The purpose of this study is to identify prognostic factors and to develop predictive models of risk of febrile neutropenia and neutropenia grade 3/4 in patients with solid tumors receiving chemotherapy with schemas that have an inherent risk of febrile neutropenia of 10-20%.
The domestic standards of G-CSF permit the use of the G-CSF only when the ANC(absolute neutrophil count) drops to 1,000/uL or below. Therefore it is impossible to inject the G-CSF in order to prevent neutropenia. However, 'the 2006 Update of Recommendations for the Use of White Blood Cell Growth Factors: An Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline(J ClinOncol 2006; 24:3187-3205)' and the 'NCCN Guideline' have revealed that as a precaution, it is appropriate to inject the G-CSF to the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with high-risk factors under the anticancer treatment of CHOP-21 Rituximab before the number of neutrophils decreases. Thus, it is intended to analyze the risk factors of febrile neutropenia in a high-risk group of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with a neutropenic fever who receive the CHOP-like regimen and primary G-CSF prophylactic therapy every three weeks. (The definition of neutropenic fever is a fever over 38.3 degrees C or continuous fever lasting longer than 1 hour over 38 degrees C with the number of neutrophil ≤ 500/uL or neutrophil ≤ 1,000/uL in case of expected decline to ≤ 500/uL within 48 hours.)
Objectives： 1. To assess the percentage of febrile neutropenia and suspected fungal-related febrile episodes in patients receiving chemotherapy 2. To explore the percentage/distribution of infectious origins of febrile neutropenia 3. To explore the percentage/distribution of infectious pathogens of febrile neutropenia 4. To explore clinical outcomes of different infectious origins/pathogens in febrile neutropenia episodes 5. To have a clear view of therapeutic actions in the management of hematological patients with febrile neutropenia and suspected fungal-related febrile episodes
