About this study

Official title: A Non-interventional Prospective Registry to Monitor the Events of Febrile Neutropenia and Invasive Fungal Infections and the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management in Patients With Malignant Hematologic Diseases After Chemotherapy

Objectives:

  1. To assess the percentage of febrile neutropenia and suspected fungal-related febrile episodes in patients receiving chemotherapy
  2. To explore the percentage/distribution of infectious origins of febrile neutropenia
  3. To explore the percentage/distribution of infectious pathogens of febrile neutropenia
  4. To explore clinical outcomes of different infectious origins/pathogens in febrile neutropenia episodes
  5. To have a clear view of therapeutic actions in the management of hematological patients with febrile neutropenia and suspected fungal-related febrile episodes

Objectives:

  1. To assess the percentage of febrile neutropenia and suspected fungal-related febrile episodes in patients receiving chemotherapy
  2. To explore the percentage/distribution of infectious origins of febrile neutropenia
  3. To explore the percentage/distribution of infectious pathogens of febrile neutropenia
  4. To explore clinical outcomes of different infectious origins/pathogens in febrile neutropenia episodes
  5. To have a clear view of therapeutic actions in the management of hematological patients with febrile neutropenia and suspected fungal-related febrile episodes

Study Design:

  • This is a single institute, prospective, non-interventional registry for monitoring events of febrile neutropenia in hematological patients
  • Patients with newly diagnosed malignant hematological diseases will be enrolled into this registry

Study Procedures: Data collection will include patients' basic information, underlying disease, baseline blood chemistry and blood cell counts, antifungal prophylaxis, C/T regimens, neutrophils and other blood cells, fever diagnosis and infectious sites work-up, clinical response, microbiology (including bacteria and fungus culture), renal and liver function, clinical diagnosis, work-up and intensive procedures and results, antifungal and antibacterial agents (including dosage, duration, and route), other drugs used (including antivirals, antineoplastics, corticosteroids, immunomodulators), clinical significant changes

Sample Size Calculation and Statistical Analysis: Approximately 100 febrile neutropenia episodes in 500 chemotherapy cycles will be collected. This is an observational and exploratory study without hypothesis tests. Study subjects will be collected and monitored under normal clinical practice, and the sample size will be limited due to the hospital scale and disease characteristic (the sample size calculation is inapplicable here). All evaluations will be shown by exploratory and descriptive data analysis. The number of cases for each investigative definition, the corresponding percentage and the 95% confidence interval will be described.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematological Disease and Febrile Neutropenia, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ming-Chung Wang, M.D. (+886-7-7317123 ext. 3266, wang9595@ms32.hinet.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Sep 2012.
