Active clinical trials for "Fever"

This study will examine in detail the immediate effects of three common treatments given to children with fevers to lower their temperature. Each child will be given either ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or a combination, and their temperature monitored at five-minute intervals. The temperature-lowering effects of each treatment will be compared to evaluate which is most effective.

This is a multi-institutional phase I/II clinical trial with concomitant local hyperthermia and proton beam radiotherapy in patients with primary or recurrent unresectable soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities, trunk, retroperitoneum (except intrabdominal). The primary purpose would be to assess the safety and efficacy of this approach along with local tumour regressions and subsequent tumour downstaging, thereby enabling a near total removal of these tumours following the hyperthermia and proton beam therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Q Fever Vaccine, Phase I, Inactivated, Dried, NDBR 105 and collect data on incidence of occupational Q fever infection in vaccinated personnel.

Spread pattern, the lack of alternative treatments, and emerging data on the activity of anti-Programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1) targeted checkpoint inhibitor therapy in gynecological cancers provide the rationale for this investigation. Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) are likely to increase the tumor-antigen expression and the mutational load. As a result, it would be interesting to combine this approach with immunotherapy. Moreover, Intraperitoneal (IP) infusion will directly target the peritoneal cavity and potentially enhance the immune response. Indeed some recent papers indicate that the peritoneum could be considered as a lymphoid organ, involving "milky spots", thus able to produce a better immune response when immunotherapy is given by IP route rather than intravenous (IV) route. The investigating team in Lyon, France is one of the major groups for HIPEC research in Europe (Pr O. Glehen et al) - Reference center for the tumors of the peritoneum (French National Cancer Institute). The aim of this study is to assess in this I/II phase study, the feasibility of extensive debulking surgery and HIPEC followed by Intraperitoneal (IP) nivolumab dose escalation in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma.

After a screening, which consists of biopsy, physical examination, initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) or body computed tomography (CT) scan, blood tests and case analysis on Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meeting, a patient will receive the hypofractionated radiotherapy 10x 3.25 Gy with regional hyperthermia (twice a week) within two weeks. The response analysis in CT or DWI-MRI and toxicity assessment will be performed after at least 6 weeks. At the second MDT meeting, a final decision about resectability of the tumor will be made. In case of resectability or consent for amputation, if required, a patient will be referred to surgery. In case of unresectability or amputation refusal, the patient will receive the second part of the treatment which consists of 4x 4 Gy with hyperthermia (twice a week).

The purpose of this study is to validate presepsin as a biological marker for identifying bacterial fever among febrile syndromes of infants under three months of age. Clearly, our goal is to determine if this marker can help us distinguish a viral infection from a bacterial infection. Indeed, presepsin would be specific for bacterial infection, and rise earlier in the blood during infection than biological markers currently used. Such validation could improve the precocity of the therapeutic management by a better targeted antibiotic therapy, and the limitation of invasive complementary examinations (lumbar puncture), in infants for whom the fear of a bacterial infection leads to examinations and systematic treatments.

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase III study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Amphotericin B liposomes in patients with persistent neutropenia and fever.

The aim of the study is to investigate comparison the effectiveness of online aerobic dance exercises versus physical activity counselling in patients with Juvenile Familial Mediterranean Fever.

The purpose of this study is to to determine the penetrance of known and probable pathogenic variants in genes and the factors that contribute to penetrance in a population of children and adults in the United States exposed to Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) trigger agents.

Fever is one of the most common symptoms in pediatrics and one of the most common reasons for visits in pediatricians' office and pediatric emergency departments. Many parents consider fever to be the most terrifying symptom. Ibuprofen is an effective and safe treatment for febrile children. Until recently ibuprofen was available only in tablets suspension and as a liquid gel. All these dosage form are administered orally. Rectal suppositories are often essential for treating febrile children who cannot take medications by mouth (e.g vomiting). In the current study we aim to compare the effect on fever of ibuprofen given as suspension with ibuprofen suppositories.
