An Investigator Initiated, Phase II Single-Center, Randomized, Open-Label, Prospective, Comparative Study to Determine the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Ceftolozane-Tazobactam Plus Vancomycin, Linezolid Versus Standard of Care Plus Vancomycin, Linezolid as Empiric Therapy in Febrile Neutropenic Adults With Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Cefepime, Ceftolozane, and 4 other interventions for Other Infectious Diseases. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug ceftolozane-tazobactam is more effective in controlling febrile neutropenia (fever and low white blood cell counts) than using approved antibiotics in patients with cancer. The safety of ceftolozane-tazobactam will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Ceftolozane-tazobactam is FDA approved and commercially available to treat certain types of infections. It is not approved for the treatment of febrile neutropenia, either by itself or in combination with other antibiotics. Its use to treat febrile neutropenia is investigational. All other antibiotics given on this study are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of infections. However, only cefepime is specifically FDA approved to treat febrile neutropenia. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 100 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
