About this study

Official title: Optimal Timing and Duration of Daily G-CSF With Adjuvant TAC Chemotherapy in Node-positive Breast Cancer;Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label, Clinically IV Phase

After resection of lymph node positive breast cancer, the injection duration and timing of Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) could affect the neutropenia with TAC (Taxotere, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The duration and the injection timing of G-CSF are effective in the prevention of neutropenia, incidence of infection and non hematologic toxicity. With the TAC chemotherapy after resection of breast cancer, the G-CSF early injection versus late injection could change the frequency of neutropenia.

What is being measured

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

  1. frequency of neutropenia

    during the 1 cycle (21days) of ajuvant chemotherapy with TAC, record the frequency of neutropenia aftr using G-CSF (Leucostim)

    Measured: Change from Baseline in neutrophil count at 21days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing late leukostim and early leukostim in people with Neutropenia, run by Hyuk moon Kim at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2012. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Chul Wan Lim, M.D., Ph.D (82-32-621-5114, cylim@soonchunhyang.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

frequency of neutropenia (time frame: Change from Baseline in neutrophil count at 21days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01571518, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2012.
