About this study

Official title: Concordance Between Body Temperature Measured Per Enteric Capsule and Auricular Temperature in Neutropenic Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Hematology Care Units

Connected medicine "2.0" is a major challenge that will lead in the near future to profound changes in medical practices. Our study is part of this technological transformation, which is already taking the form of multiple devices available to practitioners: connected pill dispensers, integrated monitoring and surveillance systems (telemedicine), connected sensors, etc.

However, a symptom as crucial and simple as body temperature has not been measured by real-time enteric capsule in a context of neutropenia. We therefore wish to study the concordance between the peripheral (tympanic) temperature and that measured by a capsule ingested in a cohort of patients hospitalized in the USIH. If the measurements are clinically reliable and truly allow anticipation of antimicrobial treatments, a medico-economic evaluation will be proposed between the two options in the context of USIH before its possible generalization.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Enteric capsuleDevice

    Enteric capsule to measure body temperature will be ingested every 24 hours during aplasia. the temperature measured with this technique will be compared with auricular temperature measurement (in current practice nurse measure temperature every 4 hours during aplasia).

Study groups in NCT04174053
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Temperature measurementExperimentalenteric capsule will be ingested every 24 hours during aplasia. Temperature measurement will be made continuously during aplasia. In parallel, auricular temperature will be measure every 4 hours during aplasia.
Receives: Device: Enteric capsule

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of the concordance between the body temperature measured at the periphery by ear thermometer and the body temperature measured per enteric capsule

    the temperature in degrees Celsius measured by the 2 systems (left and right average for the auricular measure) and analysis of the concordance

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Estimate of the theoretical administration date of the anti-infective if enteral temperature had been taken into consideration

    The time required to start anti-infective treatments according to the 2 measurement methods, in hours (effective start up thanks to the ear and theoretical measurement indicated by the enteric measurement)

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Description of curves of temperature in the neutropenic patient measured continuously

    Description of curves of temperature in the neutropenic patient measured continuously

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Satisfaction of patient towards enteric capsule

    auto-questionnaire

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Enteric capsule in people with Haematological Malignancy, run by Centre Henri Becquerel at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 14 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 2 Jan 2026. 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 France. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of the concordance between the body temperature measured at the periphery by ear thermometer and the body temperature measured per enteric capsule (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 2 Jan 2026.
