Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages Up to 19 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child, Adult
Study population: The study population will include all AML patients who received or will receive chemotherapy between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2019 at any of the fifteen participating pediatric institutions across the US. Patients discharged within 3 days after completion of that chemotherapy course will be categorized as 'early discharge' to outpatient management during neutropenia. Patients meeting eligibility criteria for 'early discharge' but remaining in the hospital more than 3 days after completion of that chemotherapy course will be categorized as inpatient management. Patients will be considered early discharge-eligible if there is no evidence of fever, infection or intensive care unit (ICU) level care within ± 3 days of the last dose of chemotherapy.
Who may be able to join
- Males or females of age less than 19 at diagnosis.
- Receipt or planned receipt of AML chemotherapy between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2019.
Who cannot join
- Patients being treated for relapsed AML
- Patients with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APML)
- Patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT)
- Patients receiving reduced intensity frontline chemotherapy

About this study
Official title: Home or Away From Home: Comparing Clinical Outcomes Relevant to the Care of Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia During Periods of Neutropenia
Treatment for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) involves intensive chemotherapy regimens that result in periods of profound neutropenia leaving patients susceptible to severe infectious complications. Infectious complications are the leading cause of treatment related mortality among AML patients, but there are little clinical data to inform whether management of neutropenia post AML chemotherapy should occur in an outpatient or inpatient setting. The primary objective of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of outpatient versus inpatient management of neutropenia in children with AML.
Read the detailed description
This is a bidirectional observational cohort study.
Participants will be patients less that 19 years of age at diagnosis receiving or having received chemotherapy for AML from seventeen participating pediatric hospitals across the United States. There is no study intervention; this is a medical record abstraction study only. Investigators will abstract subjects medical record data over the study period in order to study clinical outcomes including the occurrence of bacteremia and time to the start of the next course in the chemotherapy regimen, in relation to neutropenia management strategy.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Early Discharge Management | Discharge to outpatient management during neutropenia within 3 days after chemotherapy completion in a given course | |
| Inpatient Management | Remain hospitalized during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Occurrence of Post-chemotherapy Bacteremia
Identification of bacteremia will begin three days after completion of a chemotherapy course and will continue until recovery of absolute neutrophil count (ANC > 200 uL), or until the start of the next course (for a very small number of patients who begin the next course of chemotherapy prior to count recovery). Bacteremia will be defined as a single positive blood culture for a bacterial pathogen (including Viridans group Streptococci). If the bacterium is an organism considered as a common commensal organism by the National Healthcare Safety Network, two separate positive blood cultures will be required for classification as bacteremia.
Measured: Identification of bacteremia will begin three days after completion of a chemotherapy course and will continue until recovery of absolute neutrophil count (ANC > 200 uL), or until the start of the next course.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Time to the Initiation of the Next Chemotherapy Course
Time to next course of chemotherapy will be measured as the number of days from the three days after the completion chemotherapy in a given course until the first day of the next course.
Measured: The number of days from the three days after the completion chemotherapy in a given course until the first day of the next course
