Filter by:Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a major life-threatening treatment complication in cancer patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Endogenous flora is considered to be one of the main sources of infections during neutropenia. Competitive inhibition of gut mucosal colonization by pathogenic microorganisms using synbiotics could represent one of the potential options for its prevention. Synbiotics represent combination of two components: probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms, which in form of drugs or food supplements administered at a sufficient dose help to maintain health beneficial microbial balance in the digestive tract of a human or other host. Prebiotics are food ingredients nondigestible for our digestive enzymes, but can be fermented by bacteria in our bowel and this way selectively stimulate growth or activity of specific saccharolytic bacterial strains. These changes in composition of our microflora may bring benefits on host well-being and health. Based on the results of human and animal studies, probiotics probably can not only decrease the level of gut colonisation with pathogenic bacteria, but may also lead to reduction in the duration of neutropenia, accelerate the restitution of the intestinal mucosa and boost immunity. Despite a significant number of studies on probiotics still only little evidence of their safety especially in immunocompromised patients is available. To help find new options for increasing quality of healthcare for children cancer patients and also to evaluate safety of this new approach investigators designed double-blinded placebo controled multicenter study aimed to decrease the number of febrile episodes using prevention with synbiotic.
The investigators retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of granulocyte transfusions as adjunctive treatment for severe infections in neutropenic fever unresponsive to antimicrobial therapy in hematological patients.
The aim of the study is to identify clinical and laboratory parameters, present at the time of initial evaluation that could help predict which children with cancer, fever, and neutropenia will be at risk for developing clinically documented infections and/ or complications.
A 6 month safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetic study with ANF-Rho to treat patients with chronic neutropenia.
This study is a Dose block-randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Escalation, Phase I clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single-dose and multiple-dose oral administration of the investigational product, EC-18 (study drug) in healthy adult male volunteers.
A Phase I, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of F-627 in female breast cancer patients who received up to 4 cycles of Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide. 18 patients (6 patients each cohort) were assigned to three escalated dose cohorts of 80, 240 and 320 µg/kg.
This study was a phase Ib study of the safety and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of F-627 once per cycle as prophylaxis therapy to chemotherapy in women with breast cancer. The patients received the intravenous administration of the chemotherapy (docetaxol, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, 75 mg/m2, 50 mg/m2 and 500 mg/m2 respectively) on Day 1 and the subcutaneous injection of F-627 at 240 µg/kg and 320 µg/kg on Day 2 (approximately 24 hours after chemotherapy) each cycle for up to 6 cycles.
This was a randomized, open-label, active-controlled, dose-finding, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of F-627 compared to Filgrastim in women with breast cancer receiving myelotoxic chemotherapy. Subjects would be randomized to one of three arms, which were 10 mg/dose of F-627, 20 mg/dose of F-627 or Filgrastim, in an equal ratio.
The purpose of this study is to determine if EC-18 is safe and tolerable in healthy subjects.
This study was designed to review clincal outcomes of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy in the era of pegylated-filgrastim. The investigators will prospectively collect clinical data and treatment outcome of patients with DLBCL who use prophylactic pegylated-filgrastim.
