Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether short-course antibiotic therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.


Clinical Trial Description

Febrile neutropenia remains a major cause of morbidity in solid cancer patients. There is an unresolved question regarding the appropriate duration of antibiotic treatment for patients with febrile neutropenia of unknown origin. Current guidelines recommend at least seven days of antibiotic treatment. Several studies have demonstrated the safety of early antibiotic discontinuation in patients with febrile neutropenia. We plan an open label randomized controlled trial to compare early antibiotic discontinuation to the accepted prolonged antibiotic treatment protocol ;
