Study summary

This pilot study aims to study intestinal bacterial and fungal translocation and the evolution of the intestinal microbiota in patients over the course of their medical surveillance to search for a link between dysbiosis and bacterial/fungal translocation, but also to better understand the elements involved in febrile episodes in these patients (lack of detection of blood microorganisms, translocation of constituent elements of these microorganisms, etc.). We hypothesize that the composition of the intestinal microbiota as well as the phenomenon of intestinal microbial translocation will have an influence on the occurrence of fever and/or bacteremia in neutropenic patients hospitalized in pediatric onco-hematology.

Study population

Patients presenting to the CHU Nîmes onco-pediatric service with febrile neutropenia

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Information concerning the study set-up, objectives, constraints and the patient's rights is transmitted

    • The patient and/or their legal guardian must have given their free and . If the patient is over 18, it is the patient who signs the consent form
    • The patient must be a member or beneficiary of a health insurance plan

Exclusion criteria

  • The patient is under state guardianship or safeguard of justice

    • Refusal to sign the consent
    • It is impossible to give the subject informed information
    • Pregnant, parturient or breast feeding patient
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluate the effect of presence of bacterial and fungal translocation on occurrence of episodes of febrile neutropenia in pediatric onco-hematology patients.

    Presence or absence of microbial translocation; presence = ≥ 10 copies of rDNA16S/µL and/or ≥ 1 copies rDNA 18S/µL and ≥10 ng/mL LBP, ≥10 ng/mL of sCD14 and ≥5 ng/mL of zonulin.

    Time frame: Between day 7-15

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluate prognostic quality of fungal and bacterial translocation markers in occurrence of episodes of febrile neutropenia of unknown origin

    Time frame: Between day 7-15

  2. Evaluate prognostic quality of fungal and bacterial translocation markers in occurrence of episodes of febrile neutropenia in bacteremic patients

    Time frame: Between day 7-15

  3. Compare bacterial and fungal translocation kinetics in febrile neutropenic patients of unknown origin versus bacteremic patients

    Time frame: Between day 7-15

  4. Compare direct (16S rDNA, 18S rDNA) versus indirect (LBP, sCD14 and plasma zonulin) measures of translocation and association with bioclinical characteristics of the population

    Time frame: Between day 7-15

  5. Describe the kinetics of markers and intestinal microbial phylogenetic compositions according to the bioclinical characteristics of the population

    Diversity defined by number of different species and number of different taxonomic groups

    Time frame: Between day 7-15

  6. Creation of biobank

    All blood and stool samples taken from patients who develop neutropenia. Patients who do not develop neutropenia will have their samples collected at inclusion destroyed

    Time frame: end of study day 30

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 6, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
