mNGS Versus Blood Culture in FN
InfectionsHematologic Diseases1 moreBlood stream infection (BSI) during febrile neutropenia (FN) is a lethal complication, while confirmed diagnosis via blood culture is usually with low sensitivity and time delay. The new technique of metagenome next generation sequencing (mNGS) has the potential of early and more accurate detection of pathogens. However, this technique has not been well validated for BSI diagnosis in patients with hematological disease. Therefore, we designed a prospective multicenter study to compare the diagnosis performance in BSI.
New Diagnostics in Neutropenia
Febrile NeutropeniaMortality due to bloodstream infections in patients with neutropenia and haematological malignancies is high and optimal management is hampered by long turnaround times of conventional blood cultures. This is an observational study to assess the performance of T2 magnetic resonance, in diagnosing proven, probable and possible bloodstream infections as well as its theoretical impact on antimicrobial prescriptions in neutropenic patients with acute leukemia and bone marrow recipients.
Cologne Cohort of Neutropenic Patients (CoCoNut)
Hematological MalignanciesCancer3 moreThe Cologne Cohort of Neutropenic Patients (CoCoNut) is a non-interventional cohort study assessing risk factors, interventions, and outcome of immunosuppressed patients with or without opportunistic infections.
Biological Bank for the Patients Followed in a Constitutive Reference Center for Autoimmune Cytopenia...
Immune ThrombocytopeniaAutoimmune Hemolytic Anemia1 moreThe Internal Medicine Department of Haut-Lévêque Hospital (Pr E LAZARO, Pr JL PELLEGRIN, Pr JF VIALLARD) was accredited in 2017 by the Ministry of Health as a Constitutive Reference Center for Autoimmune Cytopenia. The investigators wish to launch new research projects in autoimmune cytopenia and propose a translational and fundamental research based on collaboration between the clinical department, the biological resource center and the CNRS and INSERM research units ("Bedside to the Bench Strategy"). Thus, in the perspective of future research work, it seems imperative to set up a biological bank for the patients followed in our Reference Center.
Risk Factors & Outcomes for Clinically Documented Infections in Pediatric Cancer Patients With Fever...
Febrile NeutropeniaThe aim of the study is to identify clinical and laboratory parameters, present at the time of initial evaluation that could help predict which children with cancer, fever, and neutropenia will be at risk for developing clinically documented infections and/ or complications.
Immunogenicity, Safety, and Efficacy of Zarzio®/Filgrastim HEXAL® in Patients With Severe Chronic...
Severe Chronic NeutropeniaPurpose of the study is to investigate the safety, immunogenicity and the efficacy of Zarzio®/Filgrastim HEXAL® under chronic administration for 12 months in patients diagnosed with severe chronic neutropenia.
Daptomycin Versus Placebo in Patients With Neutropenia and Fever
Febrile NeutropeniaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and side effects of daptomycin compared to placebo for the treatment of neutropenic fever.
Study of Ezatiostat (Telintra Tablets) for Treatment of Severe Chronic Neutropenia
Severe Chronic NeutropeniaThis 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.
A Study of Ceftobiprole in Patients With Fever and Neutropenia.
FeverNeutropenia2 moreThe purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ceftobiprole versus a comparator in patients with fever and neutropenia
Low-risk Fever and Neutropenia in Children With Cancer: Safety and Efficacy of Oral Antibiotics...
FeverNeutropenia1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether, in children with cancer presenting with fever in severe chemotherapy-induced neutropenia at low risk for medical complications, oral antibiotics in an outpatient setting after an initial phase of intravenous antibiotics and in-hospital observation for 8 to 22 hours, is not inferior as to safety and efficacy compared to continued intravenous antibiotics given in-hospital.
