Filter by:Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is frequently used among patients with cancer including those with haematological malignancies. Filgrastim is a recombinant human CSF whose biological activity is similar to that of endogenous G-CSF. In the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with various types of cancer CSFs significantly reduced the time to neutrophil recovery and length of hospitalization.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and side effects of daptomycin compared to placebo for the treatment of neutropenic fever.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the infection rate of leukemia patients who eat two different diets. Patients in the "raw" group will eat cooked food and the addition of raw fruits and vegetables. Patients in the "cooked" group will eat only cooked foods and this is the standard neutropenic diet with no fresh fruits or vegetables allowed. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the infection rate of leukemia patients who eat two different diets. The secondary objectives will be the incidence of fever requiring intravenous antibiotics in each group and death rate.
The purpose of this study is to determine if maintaining a high hemoglobin level in children that underwent bone marrow transplant will accelerate the neutrophil recovery.
This is a multicenter Phase 2 randomized parallel-group study to determine the effect of Telintra treatment on severe chronic neutropenia. Patients will be randomized to Telintra or enter an observation period with an option to crossover to Telintra treatment in a 1:1 allocation.
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the use of anidulafungin for the treatment of Candida infection in patients with an abnormal immune system. It is expected that anidulafungin will be at least as safe and as effective as the comparator drug, caspofungin.
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.
TLK199.2102 was a multicenter Phase 2 randomized study to determine the effect of Telintra treatment on chemotherapy induced neutropenia (CIN) in patients with non small cell lung cancer receiving first‑line therapy with carboplatin and docetaxel.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ceftobiprole versus a comparator in patients with fever and neutropenia
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.
