About this study

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Drug: Pegylated rhG-CSF: 100µg/kgDrug

    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).

  • Pegylated rhG-CSF: 6mgDrug

    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).

  • rhG-CSF 5ug/kg/dayDrug

    Patients were administered pegylated rhG-CSF 6 ug/kg/day from 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).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate and the duration of grade 3/4 neutropenia in cycle 1

    Proportion and the duration of subjects developing ANC lower than 1.0 × 109/L.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate and the duration of grade 3/4 neutropenia in cycle 2-4

    Proportion and the duration of subjects developing ANC lower than 1.0 × 109/L from cycle 2 to cycle 4.

    Measured: Through cycle 2 to cycle 4

  2. Rate of the febrile neutropenia in cycle 1

    Rate of ANC<0.5×109/L and auxiliary temperature>38.5℃.

    Measured: Through 4 cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Drug: Pegylated rhG-CSF: 100µg/kg, Pegylated rhG-CSF: 6mg and rhG-CSF 5ug/kg/day in people with Breast Cancer and Neutropenia, run by Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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 8 Jan 2013. 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 China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Rate and the duration of grade 3/4 neutropenia in cycle 1 (time frame: 21 days). 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 8 Jan 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
