- Brief Summary
This randomized phase III trial studies chlorhexidine gluconate cleansing to see how well it works compared to control cleansing in preventing central line associated bloodstream infection and acquisition of multi-drug resistant organisms in younger patients with cancer or undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Chlorhexidine gluconate may help reduce bloodstream infections and bacterial infections associated with the central line.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) cleansing decreases central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in children with cancer or those receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether CHG cleansing decreases acquisition of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO: vancomycin resistant enterococci \[VRE\], methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus \[MRSA\], etc.) in children with cancer or those receiving allogeneic HCT.
II. To determine whether CHG cleansing in children with cancer or those receiving allogeneic HCT is associated with cutaneous bacterial isolates with reduced susceptibility to CHG.
III. To determine whether CHG cleansing decreases positive blood cultures in children with cancer or those receiving allogeneic HCT.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive CHG cleansing with topical skin wipes once daily (QD) for 90 days.
ARM II: Patients receive control cleansing with topical skin wipes QD for 90 days.

- 177
- TRANSPLANT PATIENTS: all patients undergoing planned allogeneic transplant (both malignant and non-malignant diagnoses)
- ONCOLOGY PATIENTS: patients with an oncology diagnosis that are or will be on a chemotherapy regimen that will last for an additional >= 3 months or are on or will be on a chemotherapy regimen for < 3 months and then proceed to transplant (allogeneic or autologous stem cell rescue) during the 3-month study period
- Patients undergoing allogeneic transplant must have, or be scheduled to have, an external tunneled central venous catheter (CVC) (Broviacs, Hickmans, tunneled percutaneously inserted central catheter [PICCs], etc.) and/or non-tunneled percutaneously inserted central catheter (PICC) that is expected to remain in place for an additional >= 3 months
- Patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that will receive chemotherapy with/without transplant must have, or be scheduled to have, an external tunneled CVC (Broviacs, Hickmans, tunneled PICCs, etc.) and/or non-tunneled PICC that is expected to remain in place for an additional >= 3 months
- All other oncology patients that will receive chemotherapy with/without transplant must have, or be scheduled to have, an external tunneled CVC (Broviacs, Hickmans, tunneled PICCs, etc.) that is expected to remain in place for an additional >= 3 months
- All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) Events During the At-risk Days Up to 90 days post enrollment date Rate of CLABSI per 1000 at-risk days. CLABSI outcome is defined according to the January 2015 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria. At risk days are defined as days with eligible central lines in place.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Patients Who Acquire Cutaneous Bacterial Isolates With Reduced Susceptibility to Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) Up to 90 days post enrollment date Susceptibility to CHG is defined by MIC cutoff that is cutaneous staphylococcal isolate isolated from a follow-up swab with CHG MIC \> 4 ug/mL in patient without a resistant staphylococcal isolate isolated from a baseline swab.
Percentage of Patients With Multi-drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) Up to 90 days post enrollment date MDROs are defined as Staphylococcus aureus resistant to oxacillin, Enterococcus spp. resistant to vancomycin, Klebsiella pneumoniae or Escherichia coli non-susceptible (intermediate or resistant) to ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefepime or any carbapenem, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to any carbapenem or ceftazidime, and either an aminoglycoside or fluoroquinolone. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is included as an MDRO and is defined as a positive lab test for C. difficile and \> 3 unformed stools in \< 24 hours.
Rate of Bacteremia Per 1000 At-risk Days Up to 90 days post enrollment date A bacteremia episode is defined any positive blood culture. At risk days are defined as days with eligible central lines in place.
