Comparing G-CSF plus antibiotics vs. antibiotics alone for fever with low white blood cells
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called G-CSF (which helps your body make more white blood cells) to standard antibiotics works better than antibiotics alone for children with fever and low white blood cells caused by cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 1 and 16 years old
- You have a fever and low white blood cell count (febrile neutropenia)
- You have been diagnosed with a solid tumor or blood cancer
- You are currently receiving chemotherapy
- You have not already received G-CSF or antibiotics for this fever before coming to the hospital

This study tests whether adults with “high-risk febrile neutropenia” can safely get a shorter course of antibiotics. It may help reduce side effects from antibiotics while still keeping infections under control.
This trial tests whether an antibiotic called ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) can help patients with blood cancers who have a fever and very low infection-fighting white blood cells. It may be an option for people whose doctors plan to use this specific antibiotic to treat their fever.
This study tests whether it's safe to stop antibiotics early in patients who have had a fever while their immune system is weak from chemotherapy. If you've been fever-free for 48 hours, you may be able to avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial studies whether proteins in your blood can predict complications when you have a fever and very low white blood cells after cancer treatment. It aims to help doctors choose the best antibiotics early on.
This trial compares two antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime, to see which works better for treating fever in children with blood cancer who have a high risk of infection due to low white blood cells. The goal is to find the best treatment to help your child recover faster.
This study looks at how long antibiotics should be given to cancer patients with fever and very low white blood cell counts after finding a certain type of bacteria (Gram-negative) in their blood. The goal is to find the best treatment duration to help patients recover without complications.
