Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial
Remote Outpatient Temperature Monitoring for Early Detection of Febrile Neutropenia After Chemotherapy
Summary
Febrile neutropenic patients are at high risk for developing sepsis and other infections which often necessitates acute admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and are associated with high mortality. Neutropenic fever is a medical emergency and early detection of fever allows for prompt infectious work up. In this study, the investigators will collect pilot data from outpatients utilizing a remote outpatient continuous temperature monitoring device to compare the incidence of ICU admission and severe sepsis to historical data for prior patients who did not receive at home monitoring device.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients who have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are candidates for consolidation chemotherapy with high dose cytarabine (HiDAC) after successful remission induction chemotherapy
Both male and female
Age 18 years and older
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who have already developed febrile neutropenia during their hospitalization for their consolidative cycle of chemotherapy will not be eligible for monitoring for that cycle; however, these patients will be able to participate in subsequent cycle if they do not develop febrile neutropenia during their subsequent HiDAC hospitalization.
• If a patient is admitted to the hospital between cycles of chemotherapy for reasons other than febrile neutropenia or its sequelae, they will be taken off study for that cycle and data not collected while they are admitted
