Home Away From Home - Quality of Life Surveys
Recruiting
I'm InterestedTrial ID: NCT02777021
Purpose
Treatment for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) involves intensive chemotherapy regimens
that result in periods of profound neutropenia leaving patients susceptible to severe
infectious complications. Infectious complications are the leading cause of treatment related
mortality among AML patients, but there are little clinical data to inform whether management
of neutropenia post AML chemotherapy should occur in an outpatient or inpatient setting.
Further, no studies have been conducted that assess the impact of neutropenia management
strategy on the quality of life of pediatric patients with AML and their caregivers.
