About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Double-blind Phase III Clinical Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of a Single Dose Extimia® Versus Daily Filgrastim for Neutropenia Prophylaxis in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Myelosuppressive Chemotherapy

The purpose of the study is to compare safety and efficacy of a single dose of empegfilgrastim and daily dosing of filgrastim for prevention of neutropenia in patients receiving AT (docetaxel 75 mg/m2 + doxorubicin 50 mg/m2).

Read the detailed description

BCD-017-3 is an double-blind randomized phase III clinical study to compare the incidence of CTCAE grade 3/4 neutropenia after a single administration of recombinant human pegylated filgrastim empegfilgrastim (Extimia®) at a dose of 6 or 7.5 mg versus daily administration of filgrastim at a dose of 5 μg/kg/day for neutropenia prophylaxis in breast cancer patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy.

The study also includes the following determination of pharmacokinetic parameters after repeated administration of the study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of Neutropenia CTCAE Grade 4

    The primary endpoint, which will allow to compare the efficacy of the single dose of Extimia® versus nonpegylated daily filgrastim is the number of breast cancer patients developing CTCAE grade 3/4 neutropenia after the first AT chemotherapy cycle (doxorubicin+docetaxel).

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Duration of Grade 4 Neutropenia From the 2nd (Week 6) to 4th Cycle (Week 12);

    Measured: 2nd cycle (week 6), 3rd cycle (week 9), 4th cycle (week 12)

  2. The Incidence of Severe Neutropenia (Grade 3-4)

    Measured: 16 weeks

  3. Low Level (Nadir) ANC x 10^9/L

    Measured: 1st cycle (week 3), 2nd cycle (week 6), 3rd cycle (week 9), 4th cycle (week 12)

  4. Neutropenia Duration, Any Grade

    Measured: 1st cycle (week 3), 2nd cycle (week 6), 3rd cycle (week 9), 4th cycle (week 12)

  5. Duration From ANC Nadir to ANC < 2.0 x 10^9/L

    Measured: 1st cycle (week 3), 2nd cycle (week 6), 3rd cycle (week 9), 4th cycle (week 12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Empegfilrastim 6 mg, Filgrastim and Empegfilrastim 7.5 mg in people with Chemotherapy-induced Neutropenia, run by Biocad at 13 sites in Russia.

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 19 inclusion and 15 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 24 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Russia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Oct 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Duration of Neutropenia CTCAE Grade 4 (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 24 Oct 2016.
