About this trial

This is a single-arm pilot clinical trial evaluating dalbavancin-based prophylaxis in children and adolescents with acute myeloid leukemia or relapsed lymphoblastic leukemia receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy.

Primary objective:

\- To estimate the rate of bacterial bloodstream infection in pediatric patients with AML or relapsed ALL undergoing chemotherapy receiving dalbavancin-based prophylaxis

Secondary objectives:

* To describe the population pharmacokinetics of every 28 days dalbavancin up to 12 weeks in pediatric patients with AML or relapsed ALL undergoing chemotherapy * To describe the tolerability of every 28 days dalbavancin prophylaxis in pediatric patients with AML or relapsed ALL undergoing chemotherapy * To describe the acceptability of every 28 days dalbavancin prophylaxis in pediatric patients with AML or relapsed ALL undergoing chemotherapy * To estimate the rates of likely bacterial infections, Clostridioides difficile infection, and febrile neutropenia in pediatric patients receiving dalbavancin-based prophylaxis
