Filter by:The purpose of this observational study is to examine the rate at which elevated body temperature (fever) is relieved by an itraconazole injection administrated to patients experiencing neutropenic fever . A neutropenic fever is an elevated body temperature that occurs at a time when the patient's white blood cell count is low. White blood cells aid the body's normal defenses against infection, so a fever during this period might make it difficult for the patient to fight infections.
This is an initial study to determine if CXCR4 inhibitor AMD 3100 or plerixafor may be a potential treatment for neutropenia due to CXCR4 mutations, the myelokathexis or WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, immunodeficiency and myelokathexis) syndrome. This is the initial study of this concept and will involve up to 6 patients to receive increasing doses of plerixafor administered subcutaneously or on an alternate day basis. It is unknown if these patients will be highly sensitive to a blockade of CXCR4 activity and release more white blood cells than normal volunteers or cancer patients given the same dose of this drug. Therefore doses will begin at a level 12 fold less than currently used to mobilize stem cells and will be increased stepwise to achieve an acceptable circulating level of neutrophils.
The purpose of this observational study is to investigate whether a sufficient concentration of itraconazole can influence disappearance of a fever (defeverscence) when intravenous (into the vein) itraconazole is administered for resolving unknown neutropenic fever of participants who are given itraconazole oral solution as a prophylaxis under general treatment conditions.
The purpose of this study was to define and classify antibacterial agents used in Turkey for patients with febrile neutropenia.
In this study the investigators aim to test if a procalcitonin (PCT) - guided strategy allows to reduce the antibiotic use in patients with febrile neutropenia hospitalized in a Brazilian tertiary university hospital, causing no harm.
Febrile neutropenia are microbiologically documented in only 30% of the cases, and almost exclusively by blood cultures. The reasons for this low documentation are likely multiple: (1) some of these fevers are of non-infectious origin. (2) The bacterial inoculum present in the blood may be low and consequently undetectable by conventional blood cultures. The primary objective of the study is to assess new blood culture procedures and technics, in order to improve the diagnostic yield of blood cultures during febrile neutropenic episodes.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study evaluating the efficacy of pegfilgrastim to reduce the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with newly diagnosed, locally-advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer receiving first-line treatment with bevacizumab and either 5-fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin (FOLFOX) or 5-fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin (FOLFIRI). This study will also investigate the effect of adding pegfilgrastim to bevacizumab and either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI by evaluating overall survival, progression-free survival, and overall response rate in each arm at regular intervals over a maximum of 60 months follow-up.
This is a multi center international observational study of subjects receiving myelotoxic regimens, with an investigator assessed risk of Febrile Neutropenia (FN) ≥ 20%, for the treatment of solid tumors (breast, ovarian and lung). Approximately 100-150 sites will contribute information on 10-15 subjects treated at their institution.
RATIONALE: Acyclovir may be effective in preventing herpes simplex virus infection in patients with neutropenia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects of acyclovir and is comparing two doses of acyclovir in preventing herpes simplex virus infection in patients with neutropenia.
Determination of the effect of balugrastim on the duration and severity of severe neutropenia.
