Active clinical trials for "Neutropenia"

The main aim of the study is to assess the safety of Nivestim® treatment in patients treated with neutropenia-inducing chemotherapy for a malignant disease, solid tumor or a malignant hemopathy.

Febrile neutropenia requires prompt initiation of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which can be responsible for side-effects and selection of resistance. This study demonstrates the safety of an early discontinuation of empirical treatments, in carefully selected patients presenting with fever of unknown origin.

Non-interventional, non-comparative, national, multi-site, single-arm prospective observational study to investigate home administration of Nivestim in the primary prophylaxis of chemotherapy-Induced febrile neutropenia

The present study was an observational, multicenter, non-interventional, single arm, open label, PMS study conducted in Iran. The primary objective of this study was safety assessment, including the rate of AEs. The secondary objective was the effectiveness evaluation in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced FN.

The main treatments for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation. Neutropenia is the most common and serious complication of most chemotherapy. This study is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of jinyouli in preventing neutropenia in patients with non Hodgkin's lymphoma after chemotherapy.

In this pilot study the feasibility of continous monitoring of health data with a small, on-skin wearable device (the Everion®, by Biovotion, Zurich) in pediatric patients under chemotherapy for cancer, is studied. Feasibility is assessed by the number of patients wearing the device on seven consecutive days for at least 18h/day, what will be measured by monitored heart rate. Study duration for each participant is 14 days.

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Mecapegfilgrastim for the prevention of neutropenia and radiation esophagitis after hyperfractionation in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer

This study is to evaluate safety and prophylaxis effect of micafungin after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Micafungin is administered until confirmation of neutrophil engraftment or treatment failure.

Observational study to compare the treatment in neutropenic patients after allogenic blood stem cell transplantation, with meropenem or meropenem plus glycopeptide.

In recent decades, hematologists have noticed that persons of African descent sometimes have lower white blood cell counts of a certain type, called granulocytes. These cells help to fight infections. The lower number of granulocytes in this situation does not appear to lead to more infections, and these individuals do not have any symptoms. This condition is called benign ethnic neutropenia (BEN), and is observed in a small percentage of individuals of African descent. This study will investigate the condition by studying people with and without BEN. The goals of this study are to: identify individuals of African descent with BEN. determine the effects of two drugs, G-CSF and dexamethasone, on granulocyte production and movement. determine whether there are differences in those with and without BEN in the way genes are stimulated after the administration of G-CSF and dexamethasone. Study participants will be asked to interview with the research team, undergo physical exams, donate a blood sample, and receive G-CSF by injection, followed by dexamethasone (orally) about three weeks later. They also will be required to undergo apheresis three times, a procedure in which blood is drawn from a donor and separated into its components. Some components are retained for research analyses, such as granulocytes, and small amount of blood; the remainder is returned by transfusion to the donor. This procedure will be required of participants before they receive G-CSF, the day after they receive G-CSF, and the day after they receive dexamethasone. Gene messages (mRNA will be isolated from granulocytes, and analyzed to better understand granulocyte growth and movement.
