Adenovirus and Fungal Load in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients

NCT00448994 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2014-12-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to determine the rate at which stem cell transplant patients can develop infection caused by a group of viruses, known as adenovirus, and common fungi. Stem cells are unspecialized cells, capable of producing more stem cells or other specialized cells, and are used to replace damaged or diseased cells. The study will be conducted in children (2-17years old) being transplanted with stem cells from a donor. Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation are more likely to develop infections as their immune systems are weakened. Blood, stool, urine and throat swab samples will be collected (for at least 100 days on a weekly basis) to detect infection(s) caused by adenovirus or fungus. Subjects will participate for up to 1 year following the transplant procedure.
