About this study

Official title: An Observational Study of Dose Dense Chemotherapy With Lipegfilgrastim Support

This is a prospective, non-interventional, single arm study, which is examining doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) once every 2 weeks with lipegfilgrastim support in early breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

An important advance in the use of dose dense chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer was the development of pegylated form of G-CSF (pegfilgrastim and lipegfilgrastim), which offered the convenience of single subcutaneous injection, rather than multiple daily injections

Lipegfilgrastim is a pegylated long-acting covalent conjugate of filgrastim (G-CSF). In a pivotal randomized phase III study in breast cancer lipegfilgrastim was shown to be non-inferior to pegfilgrastim.

In this prospective observational study the incidence of treatment-related neutropenia following four cycles of dose dense (every 2 week) doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support is being investigated.

Data will be collected on 40 consecutive patients treated with AC and lipegfilgrastim in Ireland.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the incidence of treatment-related neutropenia following four cycles of dose dense doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support (8 weeks).

Secondary Objectives

  1. Determine the incidence of febrile neutropenia during 4 cycles (8 weeks)of dose dense AC with lipegfilgrastim
  2. Examine the incidence of treatment-related neutropenia during subsequent intravenous cancer therapy up to 1 year.

    Investigate the incidence of treatment-related neutropenia following four cycles of dose dense (every 2 week) doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support (8 weeks).

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of treatment-related neutropenia

    The primary objective of this study is to determine the incidence of treatment-related neutropenia following four cycles of dose dense doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support (8 weeks).

    Measured: four cycles of dose dense doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support (8 weeks).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of febrile neutropenia

    Determine the incidence of febrile neutropenia during 4 cycles (8 weeks) of dose dense AC with lipegfilgrastim

    Measured: four cycles of dose dense doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support (8 weeks).

  2. incidence of treatment-related neutropenia

    Determine the incidence of treatment-related neutropenia during subsequent chemotherapy (up to 1 year)

    Measured: Up to 1 year of subsequent chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Beaumont Hospital at 1 site in Ireland.

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 10 inclusion and 6 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 9 Feb 2018. 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 Ireland. 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.

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?

incidence of treatment-related neutropenia (time frame: four cycles of dose dense doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) with lipegfilgrastim support (8 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 9 Feb 2018.
