Brief summary
Neutropenia is one of the most frequent adverse effects of chemotherapy, and the main factor to limit the dosage and the continuation of chemotherapy. A newly pegylated rhG-CSF was independently developed by JIANGSU HENGRUI Medicine Co., Ltd, China. Phase 1a, 1b and phase 2 trials have shown that pegylated rhG-CSF has decreased renal clearance, increased plasma half-life, and prolonged efficacy in compare with rhG-CSF. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of pegylated rhG-CSF in preventing neutropenia following chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
Interventions
Patients were administered pegylated rhG-CSF 100 ug/kg once at the 3rd day of every chemotherapy cycle. Chemotherapy regimen: EC (epirubicin 100 mg/m2 +cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) or ET (epirubicin 75 mg/m2 + docetaxel 75 mg/m2).
Patients were administered pegylated rhG-CSF 6mg once at the 3rd day of every chemotherapy cycle. Chemotherapy regimen: EC (epirubicin 100 mg/m2 +cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) or ET (epirubicin 75 mg/m2 + docetaxel 75 mg/m2).
