Filter by:The aim of this feasibility trial is to determine if it is safe and feasible to treat oral health diseases in people with haematological cancers before they start their chemotherapy to reduce complications and disruption to planned chemotherapy dose or schedule.
The study proposes a planned, double-blind, non-inferiority clinical trial involving patients with febrile neutropenia and risk of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) infection. The goal is: - Analyze the efficacy and tolerability of Ceftolozane/tazobactam (CEF/TAZ) compared to the current standard of care (meropenem) in patients with febrile neutropenia and risk of ESBL infection. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive CEF/TAZ or meropenem, with assessment of clinical response, toxicity and microbiological evolution. Stool samples will be collected before, during and after treatment for intestinal microbiota analysis and intestinal microbiome analysis to evaluate possible effects on GVHD. Analysis of the results will include the taxonomic classification of the organisms present. Data will be analyzed to assess non-inferiority in clinical response, incidence of GVHD, antimicrobial resistance and other outcomes.
This clinical trial focuses on children with cancer who face infections after receiving chemotherapy. Chemotherapy affects the bone marrow, leading to a decrease in the production of certain white blood cells, particularly those that defend against bacterial infections (neutrophils). One significant concern is febrile neutropenia, where children experience a fever during a period of low white blood cell count. This condition often results from bacterial infections, necessitating prompt wide-spectrum antibiotic treatment. However, some children eliminate antibiotics in the urine too quickly during febrile neutropenia. Their kidneys function more than they normally do (renal hyperfiltration). This can lead to insufficient exposure to antibiotics to control the infection. The current standard antibiotic regimens do not account for this variable elimination rate. In this study we focus on two antibiotics used in this context: piperacillin-tazobactam and meropenem. The main questions this study aims to answer are, in these children: - Would higher doses of antibiotics result in better blood levels of antibiotics? - Would they have more sides effects with higher antibiotics dosages? - Would they recover more quickly with higher antibiotic doses? All patients will undergo a blood test upon hospital arrival, including an assessment of renal function. If renal function is normal or diminished, the patient will receive the standard antibiotic dose. Children with increased renal function will be randomly assigned to two groups during each episode of febrile neutropenia. One group will receive standard antibiotic dosages, while the other will receive higher doses to compensate for renal hyperfiltration. Throughout the study, antibiotic levels in the blood will be monitored for all patients. This monitoring will determine if target concentrations can be achieved more quickly with experimental dosages and will allow doctors to readjust the doses if needed.
This is a randomized, open label clinical trial among individuals with hematologic conditions. The trial aims to evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes of de-escalating antibiotic therapy among stable individuals diagnosed with neutropenic fever, in which no bacterial infection has been identified.
The study is being conducted to evaluate the preference, and safety of HHPG-19K Injection and Auto-HHPG-19K Injection in Prevention of chemotherapy-related moderate to severe neutropenia of Patients with nonmyeloid malignancies.
The aim of this study was to observe the efficacy and safety of Efbemalenograstim Alfa in the prevention of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reduction after chemotherapy in NSCLC patients at risk of platinum-containing chemotherapy with risk factors in febrile neutropenia (FN)
This study is examining one-time injection of biosimilar pegfilgrastim compared with multiple injection biosimilar filgrastim post autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Study aims to compare biosimilar pegfilgrastim - LaPelga and biosimilar filgrastim -Gastrofil to see if they are similar in efficacy in terms of neutrophil engraftment, limited adverse effects, and more convenience to our patients, with potential cost savings.
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.
