Filter by:This pilot study aims to study intestinal bacterial and fungal translocation and the evolution of the intestinal microbiota in patients over the course of their medical surveillance to search for a link between dysbiosis and bacterial/fungal translocation, but also to better understand the elements involved in febrile episodes in these patients (lack of detection of blood microorganisms, translocation of constituent elements of these microorganisms, etc.). We hypothesize that the composition of the intestinal microbiota as well as the phenomenon of intestinal microbial translocation will have an influence on the occurrence of fever and/or bacteremia in neutropenic patients hospitalized in pediatric onco-hematology.
CALIF study is a monocentric observational study which aim is to analyse the value of adding procalcitonin (PCT, a pre-hormon increased in bacterial infection and septicaemia) in the management of chemo-induced febrile neutropenia occurring in patient with solid tumour. Febrile neutropenia will be managed according to international guidelines. PCT will be dosed at initial presentation. Primary objective is to determine the optimal value of PCT for the detection of septicaemia in low risk (according to MASCC score). The investigators plan also to compare two risk stratification scores: the validated MASCC score and a recently developed score which includes PCT and other more objective items.
Pediatric patients with febrile neutropenia coming to Department of Medical Oncology with low risk features (culture awaited), will be started on intravenous antibiotics (Inj Cefoperazone+ Sulbactam ± Amikacin) on outpatient basis. Those patients will be reassessed for randomization once they fulfill all inclusion criteria and get afebrile for at least 24 hours. Antibiotics will be stopped in Arm-A and oral antibiotics, in place of intravenous antibiotics, will be started in Arm-B. The patients will be followed-up till ANC≥ 500, or reappearance of fever within follow-up of ≤ 10 days.
This study will evaluate the effect, safety, and tolerability of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) plus vancomycin or linezolid compared to standard of care plus vancomycin or linezolid as empiric therapy in febrile neutropenic adults with cancer.
To compare the efficacy and safety of Day 2 (D2) once a cycle pegfilgrastim with Intermittent Every Other Days of 5 Shot (D3-11) filgrastim in early breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant Docetaxel, Doxorubicin, and Cyclophosphamide (TAC) regimen
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and side effects of daptomycin compared to placebo for the treatment of neutropenic fever.
Patients must be currently treated at the Huntsman Cancer Institute or Intermountain Primary Children's Medical Center to be eligible for this study. Although there have been many advances in the assessment and treatment of infections responsible for febrile neutropenia in cancer patients, it still remains a common complication of cancer therapy and accounts for the majority of chemotherapy-associated deaths. This National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded proposal using the R-21 Quick-Trials Exploratory Grant mechanism is to conduct an exploratory/pilot project in a group of patients with persistent febrile neutropenia to provide critical information that will support the concept, and aid in the design, of a larger multi-center clinical trial. The ultimate goal of our interdisciplinary team of oncologists, infectious diseases experts, imagers, and biostatisticians is to conduct a prospective, multi-center trial to establish the utility and cost-effectiveness of PET/CT using the widely available glucose analogue [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in identifying sites of infection in cancer patients with persistent febrile neutropenia without an obvious identifiable source thus improving targeted therapy.
Administration of a single high dose (10 mg/kg) of AmBisome® no later than 72 hours after ARNF onset followed by two 5 mg/kg doses on days 2 and 5 may provide sustained tissue levels of amphotericin B that are as mycologically effective as those provided after administering the standard daily dose of 3 mg/kg/day. The new dosing regimen is anticipated to be equally clinically effective compared with the standard AmBisome® regimen when given for the duration of neutropenic fever in patients with ARNF. In addition, the degree and incidence of nephrotoxicity are predicted to be lower with the 3 sequential dose regimen compared to daily dosing with 3 mg/kg because of the lower cumulative dosage (20 mg/kg versus 42 mg/kg, respectively), which is 1 contributing factor for the development of acute renal failure. Furthermore, the lower cumulative dose may be a cost-effective strategy for the treatment of patients with ARNF.
