Filter by:In this pilot study the feasibility continous recording of vital signs in pediatric patients under chemotherapy for cancer, is studied. Vital signs and are recorded with two different wearable devices (WDs): Everion®, by Biovotion (now Biofourmis), Zurich, Switzerland and CORE® by GreenTEG, Zurich, Switzerland. Patients can choose if they want to wear one or both WDs during this study. Those opting to wear two WDs can choose if they want to wear them in parallel, or sequentially. Results from the two different WDs will be compared. Study duration for each participant is 14 days per device.
There is no specific recommendation about antimicrobial treatment length for documented infections in chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenia. The aim of this study was to compare long versus short antibiotic course for bloodstream infection treatment in acute myeloid leukemia patients during febrile neutropenia. This monocentric retrospective comparative study included all consecutive bloodstream infection episodes among acute myeloid leukemia patients with febrile neutropenia for 3 years (2017-2019). Episodes were classified regarding the length of antibiotic treatment, considered as short course if the treatment lasted ≤7 days, except for nonfermenting bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus or lugdunensis for which the threshold was ≤10 days and ≤14 days, respectively. The primary outcome was the number of bloodstream infection relapses in both groups within 30 days of antibiotic discontinuation.
This is a single-center prospective pharmacokinetic study. The principal objective is to collect new data among patients with hematologic cancer to develop a Bayesian population pharmacokinetic model and to improve dose adjustment of intravenous vancomycin. Approximately 40 subjects meeting the inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. Vancomycin blood concentration will be measured at steady-state at three different moment for each participant : immediately before the infusion, 1 hour after the infusion and during the elimination phase (at 3, 4 or 5 hours after the infusion). This additional vancomycin serum concentration in the elimination phase will be used to estimate more precisely the vancomycin pharmacokinetic parameters in this specific population including the distribution volume and the elimination of the molecule. Ultimately, the purpose of this study is to create a nomogram to predict the optimal initial vancomycin dosing in adult patients with a hematologic cancer.
In low risk neutropenic fever in cancer, standard of care is the association of amoxicillin clavulanate and ciprofloxacin. But in this population, the rate of fever related to infection is very low, leading to a overtreatment of the patients. The aim of this study is to validate a descalation of the antibiotherapy with safety concerns.
The aim is to investigate if RNA expression signature can discriminate bacterial from viral infection or non-infectious inflammation in children with cancer. Earlier studies in immunocompetent children have shown promising results, but studies in immunocompromised children are lacking. We aim to include 300 febrile episodes in children with cancer. The samples will be analysed by RNA sequencing. If succesfull, this method can help prevent unnecessary antibiotic treatment, reduce hospital admissions, side effects and antimicrobial resistance and improve quality of life for children during cancer treatment.
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort registry in subjects receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy for a non-myeloid malignancy who are considered to be at high risk for developing febrile neutropenia (FN).
The study is a nationwide, multicenter, open label, randomized controlled trial. A target population of 220 children in treatment for cancer with neutropenic fever and a neutrophil count below 0.5 × 10⁹ cells/L with expected duration for more than 7 days will be recruited during the first 48 hours of antibiotic treatment (24 months inclusion period). They will be randomized 1:1 as follows: - Experimental group: Discontinuation of antibiotics, despite neutrophil count below 0.5 × 10⁹ cells/L, after 48 hours of apyrexia and clinical stability - Control group: Discontinuation of antibiotics when neutrophil count is equal to or above 0.5 × 10⁹ cells/L and the child is afebrile and clinically stable (up to maximum of 14 days after apyrexia and clinical stability). Primary endpoint is the number of days without antibiotic treatment in 28 days after treatment initiation. Secondary endpoints are crude mortality, severe adverse events, days with relapsing fever, and alterations of the microbiome.
This study investigates the major complication rate in cancer patients potentially eligible for a hospital at home program for management of neutropenic fever. "Hospital at Home" is a home care program that provides acute, inpatient care in a patient's home in place of a traditional hospital stay. Learning more about the characteristics of potentially eligible patients, including reasons for inpatient admission, rates of major complications, and situations or treatments that would be difficult to deliver in an at home setting may help to inform future program development.
The purpose of this study is to try to find a better injection regimen (including time and dose) of PEG-rhG-CSF, which is supposed to better prevent bone marrow suppression and/or FN in breast cancer patients who receive chemotherapy.
The present study was an observational, multicenter, non-interventional, single arm, open label, PMS study conducted in Iran. The primary objective of this study was safety assessment, including the rate of AEs. The secondary objective was the effectiveness evaluation in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced FN.
