Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety of Nivestim® to reduce or prevent febrile neutropenia in patients treated with neutropenia-inducing chemotherapy for a malignant disease, solid tumor or a malignant hemopathy.Each patient will be followed for the duration of his chemotherapy regimen (the current one at the time of the Nivestim® treatment initiation) up to a maximum of six monthsThe safety will be assessed by the record of all treatment emergent adverse events and all data about hospitalization due to any febrile neutropenia or infection.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy of treatment with Nivestim®Each patient will be followed for the duration of his chemotherapy regimen (the current one at the time of the Nivestim® treatment initiation) up to a maximum of six monthsAssess the efficacy of the treatment with Nivestim® by studying occurrence of febrile neutropenia, infection and the impact of these events on the chemotherapy treatment (cycle postponement, dose reduction)
Characteristics of the patients treated with Nivestim® in real-life practiceAt Visit 1Describe the characteristics of the patients treated with Nivestim® in real-life practice,
Methods of treatment with Nivestim®Each patient will be followed for the duration of his chemotherapy regimen (the current one at the time of the Nivestim® treatment initiation) up to a maximum of six monthsDescribe the methods of treatment with Nivestim® depending on the indications (curative or prophylactic) in routine practice.
Profiles of the physicians participating in the studyAt visit 1Describe the profiles of the physicians participating in the study
