Brief summary

This is a research study using Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) as a bone marrow stimulating agent for imaging to guide radiation treatment planning. G-CSF is a type of growth factor. Growth factors are proteins made in the body. G-CSF is a type of growth factor that makes the bone marrow produce white blood cells to reduce the risk of infection after some types of cancer treatment. GCSF is being given to stimulate the bone marrow to identify the active (blood cell producing regions) to better spare during pelvic radiation treatment planning.

Detailed description

This is a phase 1/2 study. The phase 1 is a dose finding portion of the study and phase 2 will enroll additional patients at the dose found in phase I. Patients in phase I and phase 2 will have the same treatment and follow-up. Participants will undergo standard of care diagnostic imaging, complete blood count (CBC) with differential and chemistry labs initially. While receiving the GCSF, participants will have a CBC with differential checked a day after each dose and one day prior to first day of radiation. The treatment planning FDG PET/CT will be performed shortly after the GCSF. During chemoradiation, participants will have weekly CBC with differential checked and other labs as standard of care.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Achieving Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) CriteriaUp to 1 day after completing GCSFRP2D will be defined as the dose at which the standard uptake value (SUV) on D5 FDG PET reaches a target SUVmean of 2.5 or higher, with normalization of white blood cells (WBC) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) prior to the start of radiation. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who meet these criteria.
Number of Participants Experiencing Grade 3 or Greater Neutropenia (ANC < 1000/mm³)Up to 7 weeks after starting treatmentRate of grade 3 or greater neutropenia (ANC \< 1000/mm³ at any point of therapy) was monitored using regular complete blood count (CBC) with differential.

RP2D will be defined as the dose at which the standard uptake value (SUV) on D5 FDG PET reaches a target SUVmean of 2.5 or higher, with normalization of white blood cells (WBC) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) prior to the start of radiation. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who meet these criteria.
