Filter by: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.
RATIONALE: Recombinant human mannose-binding lectin (MBL) may be effective in preventing infection in young patients with fever and neutropenia receiving chemotherapy for blood disease or cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of recombinant human mannose-binding lectin in treating young patients with MBL deficiency and fever and neutropenia.
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.
Fungal infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus are now identified in up to 45% of patients dying from haematological malignancy. There has been a significant increase in deaths from IA over the last 20 years. Our current diagnostic approach is neither sensitive nor specific. The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess the value of current diagnostic tools, as well as test other new diagnostic methods for the diagnosis of IA among haemato-oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed in the body, distributed within the body, and how it is removed from the body over time) of itraconazole (ITCZ) oral solution in participants with Systemic Fungal Infection (SFI) and those with febrile (with fever) neutropenia (FN, decrease in white blood cells) suspected of fungal infection.
A Phase III Randomized Controlled Open Label Comparative Multicentric Trial To Compare The Safety And Efficacy of Indigenous Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF) With Neupogen In Patients on Myelosuppressive Therapy for Non Myeloid Malignancies. Adult patients (18 years of age or older) diagnosed as having any malignancy (except myeloid malignancy, ECOG status of 0-2 and having a history of experiencing neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 1000/mm3) in a previous chemotherapy cycle and have one more cycle of chemotherapy on the same drugs would be recruited into the study. Treatment will be initiated not earlier than 24 hours after the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy in both groups. Group 1: Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF)(Shantha) - Dose: 300 mcg/day administered subcutaneous/intravenous/continuous subcutaneous infusion for a minimum of 7 days and for a maximum of 14 days or till Neutrophil count of 10,000/mm3 is reached whichever is earlier Group 2: Neupogen (rhG-CSF) - Dose: 300mcg/day administered subcutaneous/intravenous/continuous subcutaneous infusion for a minimum of 7 days and for a maximum of 14 days or till Neutrophil count of 10,000/mm3 is reached whichever is earlier Primary End Point would be to evaluate the percentage of patients developing febrile neutropenia (defined as body temperature ≥ 38.2°C or developing a temperature of > 38°C twice in a 12-hour period and absolute neutrophil count < 0.5 x 109/L on the same day of the fever or the day after)in the two treatment groups.
This research study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of two different dose levels of a new, unapproved drug to be given along with the chemotherapy regimens gemcitabine and carboplatin or gemcitabine and cisplatin prescribed to women for the treatment of ovarian cancer. This experimental drug is called TXA127 and is being tested for effectiveness to see if it will help reduce some of the side effects of the chemotherapy, primarily low blood platelet levels that lead to excess bleeding. This study also intends to test the safety of TXA127 when given as an injection under the skin on a daily basis concurrently with up to 6 cycles of the prescribed chemotherapy.
