About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of Adding Daily G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor) for Prevention of Hematologic Toxicity Due to Neoadjuvant or Adjvuant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: G-CSF may prevent or reduce febrile neutropenia in women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. It is not yet known which G-CSF regimen is more effective in preventing neutropenia.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well G-CSF works in preventing neutropenia in women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the efficacy of filgrastim (G-CSF) in preventing hematological toxicity in women with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.

Secondary

  • Compare actual vs theoretical dose intensity.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (< 65 years vs ≥ 65 years) and prior chemotherapy (adjuvant vs neoadjuvant). Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

  • Group 1: Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) once daily on days 6-11 of each course of chemotherapy as primary prophylaxis. Chemotherapy courses repeat every three weeks for 3-6 courses.
  • Group 2: Patients receive G-CSF SC once daily on days 6-11 of each course of chemotherapy as primary prophylaxis. Chemotherapy courses repeat every three weeks for 3-6 courses. Patients may also receive secondary prophylaxis with G-CSF if they experience an episode of neutropenia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim in people with Breast Cancer and Chemotherapeutic Agent Toxicity, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrence of febrile neutropenia. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2011.
