Pentaglobin in CRE and PA Neutropenic Infections
Italy120 participantsStarted 2019-12-06
Plain-language summary
To demonstrate that the early addition of Pentaglobin to the best available antimicrobial therapy is able to reduce mortality and improve survival in neutropenic febrile acute leukemia or allo- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients colonized by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or by any Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

* Indication to allogeneic Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for hematological cancers, including severe aplastic anemia (second transplants allowed)
* Pre-treatment colonization by Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) documented by rectal and/or pharyngeal swab.
* Pre-treatment bloodstream infection sustained by CRE or PA.
* Written and signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
