Trial summary

Objectives: Invasive infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients treated for hematological malignancies. Blood cultures are often negative in neutropenic patients because of low-burden of organisms, previous antibiotic therapy or non-infectious reason of fever. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Obtaining Early Diagnosis and Prognosis in Urgent Sepsis (OEDIPUS) Study

Objectives: Invasive infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients treated for hematological malignancies. Blood cultures are often negative in neutropenic patients because of low-burden of organisms, previous antibiotic therapy or non-infectious reason of fever. More rapid, accurate and sensitive diagnostic tools are needed.

Hypothesis: Multiplex real-time PCR may detect microbial DNA in neutropenic patients before febrile episode. To investigate this hypothesis, EDTA-blood was routinely collected for multiplex PCR at admission and 3x/week thereafter until discharge or recovery from neutropenia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neutropenia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. 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 20 Aug 2012.
