Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of piperacillin-tazobactam with or without vancomycin in reducing fever in patients who have leukemia, lymphoma, or Hodgkin's disease.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind, multicenter study. Patients receive piperacillin/tazobactam IV over 20-30 minutes every 6 hours. Patients who become afebrile within 48-60 hours after beginning treatment continue to receive piperacillin/tazobactam alone. These afebrile patients continue treatment for a minimum of 7 days, of which 4 must be consecutive without fever. Patients who are still febrile after the initial 48-60 hours are randomized to continue on piperacillin/tazobactam alone or with vancomycin. Vancomycin IV is administered over at least 1 hour twice daily. Treatment continues for a maximum of 28 days in the absence of persistent fever. Patients are followed at 7-10 days after completion of therapy.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 patients will be accrued for this study.
