About this study

Official title: Randomized Multicenter Open-label Phase II Clinical Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of the Single Dose of 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 empegfilgrastimt a dose of 3 or 6 mg versus daily administration of filgrastim at a dose of 5 μg/kg/day.

Read the detailed description

BCD-017-2 is an open-label randomized phase II 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 3 or 6 mg versus daily administration of filgrastim at a dose of 5 μg/kg/day for neutropenia prophylaxis in breast cancer patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • empegfilrastimBiological

    Also called Extimia, BCD-017, metpegfilgrastim, pegylated filgrastim

    Empegfilgrastim is supplied as solution for injection 3 mg/ml. Empegfilgrastim is to be administered 24 h after the chemotherapy at dose of 3 or 6 mg.

  • filgrastimBiological

    Also called GCSF

    Filgrastim should be administered no earlier than 24 hours after the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Filgrastim should be administered daily for up to 2 weeks until the ANC has reached 10 000/mm3 following the expected chemotherapy-induced neutrophil nadir.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing empegfilrastim and filgrastim in people with Chemotherapy-induced Neutropenia, run by Biocad at 5 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 16 inclusion and 11 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 5 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

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?

CTCAE Grade 3/4 Neutropenia Incidence (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 5 Dec 2016.
