A Trial of Fosfomycin vs Ciprofloxacin for Febrile Neutropenia
Febrile NeutropeniaRandomized phase 3 trial to compare efficacy and safety of oral fosfomycin versus ciprofloxacin to prevent febrile neutropenia in patients with acute leukemia or recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Role of Magnetic Resonance Enterography for Predicting Peritoneal Cancer Index
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal ChemotherapyCytoreductive Surgery1 moreThis is a prospective observational study which will recruit 90 participants over a three-year period to investigate whether adding magnetic resonance imaging and enterography to routine computed tomography study can better predict the extend of peritoneal carcinomatosis over computed tomography alone.
Intranasal Cocaine and Temperature Regulation During Exercise
HyperthermiaCocaine Use1 moreAssess the effects of intranasal cocaine on temperature regulation and whole-body sweat rate during exercise in warm environmental conditions.
Peripheral Neuroimmune Mechanisms of Hyperthermia
HyperthermiaMajor Depressive Disorder1 moreThe goal of this study is to examine how whole-body hyperthermia affects the thermoinflammatory profile, which includes the combined immune and heat shock response, in patients with depression and whether these changes correlate with decreased depression in individuals with Major Depressive Disorder.
Radiofrequency Hyperthermia Safety Study
Chronic PainSoft Tissue Injuries2 moreThis study will include 20 healthy subjects with intact skin on their lower legs that meet inclusion criteria. Participants will serve as their own control, by heating one leg and not the other. The radiofrequency device consists of a 4 by 6 inch heating pad connected to a temperature controller. Subjects will receive weekly treatments for 4 weeks, and will be re-evaluated 4 weeks after the last treatment to assess any tissue changes that continue after the treatments have concluded.
Human Immune Responses to Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow FeverThe goal of this study is to use the live attenuated yellow fever vaccine, YFV-17D (YF-VAX®, Sanofi-Pasteur) as a safe and effective model for viral infection to understand human immune response to viral antigens. Study participants will receive the yellow fever vaccine and participation in the study may be as short as one month or as long as one year, depending on immune responses.
DIStinguishing ChildrEn at Low Risk of Severe infectioN in Case of Febrile Neutropenia-7: Impact...
NeutropeniaFebrileFebrile neutropenia (NF) is the leading cause of unscheduled hospitalization in children with cancer. Management classically involves emergency admission to hospital for intravenous antibiotic treatment until resolution of fever and neutropenia. However, children with NF are a heterogeneous group with varying risks of severe infection (10-29%). This approach, which is recognized as excessive for low-risk episodes of severe infection, particularly in terms of quality of life and cost, is no longer recommended. Management should move to a more personalized model that takes into account the individual probability of severe infection. Clinical decision rules (CDRs) have been proposed to facilitate risk stratification, but none are useful in our French population because of insufficient reproducibility or effectiveness.
Hyperthermia and High Dose Rate Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Prostate Cancer...
Recurrent Prostate CarcinomaThis phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that has come back after prior radiation treatment. Radiation therapy, such as high dose rate brachytherapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Hyperthermia therapy may make tumor cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation therapy by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Giving hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation.
A Study of Baricitinib (LY3009104) in Adult and Pediatric Japanese Participants With NNS/CANDLE,...
Nakajo-Nishimura SyndromeChronic Atypical Neutrophilic Dermatosis With Lipodystrophy and Elevated Temperature Syndrome2 moreThe main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in adult and pediatric Japanese participants with Nakajo-Nishimura Syndrome/chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (NNS/CANDLE), STING-associated vasculopathy with onset during infancy (SAVI), and Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS).
Outcomes After Secondary Cytoreductive Surgery With or Without Carboplatin Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal...
Ovarian CancerFallopian Tubes Cancer1 moreThe purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can improve the treatment of this type of cancer. They want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, giving heated chemotherapy into the belly, known as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has on the patient and this type of cancer. The goal of HIPEC is to expose any cancer left in the abdomen after surgery to high doses of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy is heated in the hope that this will make it easier for it to get into and kill the cancer cells. The drug used for HIPEC will be carboplatin, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for use in ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
