Trial summary

The anti-cancer cytotoxic chemotherapy is often the cause of neutropenia of grade IV or febrile neutropenia. Those neutropenia, in addition to being a comorbidity factor, result in dose reductions and/or temporary or permanent stop of chemotherapy, thus impacting clinical response.

About this study

The anti-cancer cytotoxic chemotherapy is often the cause of neutropenia of grade IV or febrile neutropenia. Those neutropenia, in addition to being a comorbidity factor, result in dose reductions and/or temporary or permanent stop of chemotherapy, thus impacting clinical response. To avoid those episodes, or to shorten the duration and reduce the associated risk, administration of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is recommended. Recombinant G-CSF reproduces the physiological effects of endogenous G-CSF by increasing the proliferation of granulocytes progenitors. Different forms of G-CSF are available: daily administration (such as filgrastim, lenograstim) and a single administration (pegfilgrastim).

Various international learned societies offer recommendations for primary care, secondary or curative neutropenia induced by chemotherapy based on G-CSF. However, guidance on the ideal time for the administration of growth factors and duration of administration are not very clear. If it seems clear that the treatment should not be initiated within the first 24 hours following administration of chemotherapy, summaries of the characteristics of different products do not provide evidence to optimize the administration day depending on the kinetics evolution of neutrophils. In addition, no information is given as to the choice of a formulation with respect to the other.

The pilot study the investigator propose aims to model the effect of exogenous G-CSF on the evolution of neutrophil function of time and explain the pharmacodynamic variability during the administration of chemotherapy based on eribulin. The description of the evolution of neutrophils when growth factors are administered give the opportunity to streamline administration regimens of these factors and to provide guidance on the circumstances in which they should or should not be given while weekly chemotherapy.

Expected benefits and foreseeable risks With the exception of surplus withdrawals during the first 2 cycles of treatment, this study will have no impact on the care of patients.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Biological samplesOtherOnly one arm in this pilot study. All patient will have a follow up and treatment as per standard care for this pathology. Specifically for the study all patients will have 8 additional blood samples to be drawn during the first 2 cycles of treatment (1 cycles is 21 days).
Receives: Procedure: ERIBULIN + G-CSF (Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor)

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of Neutrophils concentration in patient treated with G-CSF (Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor)

    variation of Neutrophil concentration will be assess by blood count formula performed during the 2 first cycle of Eribulin treatment: at the first and last day of G-CSF administration, at day 10 and day 15 of each cycle.

    Measured: Variation of Neutrophil concentration will be assess during the two first cycle of Eribulin treatment (1 cycle is 21 days, so total time frame is 42 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERIBULIN + G-CSF (Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Centre Georges Francois Leclerc at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 Jun 2020. 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 France. 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?

Variation of Neutrophils concentration in patient treated with G-CSF (Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor) (time frame: Variation of Neutrophil concentration will be assess during the two first cycle of Eribulin treatment (1 cycle is 21 days, so total time frame is 42 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 24 Jun 2020.
