Filter by:This is a prospective single-arm pilot study investigating the safety and feasibility of giving hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy immediately following transurethral resection of bladder tumour.
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact on pyrexia-related outcomes of an adapted pyrexia adverse event (AE)-management algorithm, as well as safety, efficacy and health-related outcomes.
Patients with acute leukaemia requiring induction or consolidation chemotherapy and those requiring a haematopoietic stem cell transplant are at high risk of fever and infection when they have low white cell counts (neutropenic fever). The causes of neutropenic fever are frequently unknown and patients are treated with broad antibiotics, without a clear target to what is being treated. This study will prospectively enroll patients who are receiving chemotherapy for acute leukaemia or for a stem cell transplant and compare the diagnostic utility of bacterial and fungal PCR performed directly off blood drawn, to the standard blood culture. Patients who have persistent fever after 72 hours of antibiotics will then be randomized to have either the interventional scan (PET/CT) or the conventional scan (standard CT) to look for a source of infection. Diagnostic yield, change in management and outcomes will be compared between arms.
The study will examine whether prophylactic and scheduled treatment with acetaminophen and ibuprofen can decrease the maximum temperature experienced during the acute illness in children with CNS malaria.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effects of 4 quadrant TAP block (4Q-TAP block) with the standard-of-care thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) in patients recovering from cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). A 4Q-TAP block is also known as an abdominal wall block and TEA is also known as a thoracic epidural. Both are types of anesthetics but are given in different ways. A 4Q-TAP block is when anesthetic injections are given in 4 different parts of the abdomen. A TEA is when an anesthetic injection is given in the space surrounding the spinal cord through your back. This is an investigational study. The surgery and the levels of anesthetic participant is receiving are standard-of-care. It is investigational to compare 4Q-TAP block with TEA. Up to 140 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of paclitaxel that can be given as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to patients with gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. HIPEC is a system in which heated chemotherapy is delivered directly inside the abdomen during surgery. In this study, paclitaxel is being combined with mitomycin and cisplatin to see if this study drug combination can help to control the disease. This is an investigational study. Mitomycin, cisplatin, and paclitaxel are FDA-approved and commercially available for the treatment of gastric and gastroesophageal cancer. It is investigational to give these drugs by HIPEC. The study doctor can describe how the study drugs and HIPEC are designed to work. Up to 48 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
To assess the safety and establish the dose to assess the pharmacokinetic activity following administration of EC-18 in patients with advanced breast cancer receiving low febrile neutropenia risk chemotherapy who are the candidates for second-line or higher combination therapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide.
The use of e-health in improving the quality of health services is a rapidly expanding research area, in particular its usefulness in patient management of the home-hospital care pathway. Febrile neutropenia is a serious and frequent complication of cytotoxic chemotherapy and better identification of low-risk patients who can be treated at home could be made possible by these technologies. The objective of this study is to evaluate a shared health information system (NEUTROSIS) for home-hospital management of febrile neutropenia after anti-tumor chemotherapy. The study aims to compare the average length of hospital stay for febrile neutropenia among patients receiving NEUTROSIS and those receiving standard care Materials and methods A shared information system (NEUTROSIS) has been developed to connect a smartphone web application for the patient to the existing shared medical record of the Paris Sud hospital group (AP-HP, France - 4D software). The study consists of conducting a randomized controlled trial to compare a cohort of patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy for solid cancer or heamatological malignancies using the NEUTROSIS shared information system (n=100) and a cohort of patients followed by the hospital's standard care over a treatment period of six months (n=100). During the 15 days following each chemotherapy cycle, the 2 groups of patients must take their temperature daily. Both groups are trained like any patient under chemotherapy to contact the team in case of fever. The NEUTROSIS group captures daily its temperature and the occurrence of other symptoms on the smartphone application. This information is then transmitted instantly to the hospital care team who will be alerted in case of fever and will contact the patient. The control group will indicate these same data in a paper diary and will have to contact the health team in case of fever as done in the usual care. The two groups of patients will be followed 6 months through a questionnaire asked to the patient at each hospital visit for chemotherapy cycle. The questionnaire collects information on the occurrence of symptoms and healthcare use between two chemotherapy cycles. A last follow-up questionnaire is asked by phone at the endpoint follow-up (6 months). The study will take place in two hospital sites of the Paris University hospital (A Béclère and Kremlin-Bicètre).
The aim of the study was to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the CYD dengue vaccine and Gardasil (Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent [Types 6, 11, 16, and 18] Vaccine, Recombinant) when administered concomitantly or sequentially. Primary objectives: - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of geometric mean titers [GMTs]) to Gardasil after concomitant administration was non-inferior to sequential administration with the CYD dengue vaccine measured 28 days after the last dose of Gardasil. - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response to the CYD dengue vaccine after concomitant administration was non-inferior to sequential administration with Gardasil measured 28 days after the last dose of the CYD dengue vaccine. Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of seroconversion) to Gardasil vaccine after concomitant administration was non-inferior to sequential administration with the CYD dengue vaccine measured 28 days after the last dose of Gardasil. - To describe the humoral immune response to Gardasil at baseline and after each dose of Gardasil in each and any group. - To describe the humoral immune response to the CYD dengue vaccine at baseline and after each dose of the CYD dengue vaccine in each and any group. - To describe the safety of Gardasil and the CYD dengue vaccine after each and any dose in each group.
The aim of this study was to investigate the immunogenicity and safety of CYD dengue vaccine and Cervarix when administered concomitantly or sequentially in healthy female participants aged 9-14 years of age.
