About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Multi-Centre, Open-Label, Fixed Dose, Neulasta® Active-Controlled Clinical Trial of F-627 in Women With Breast Cancer Receiving Myelotoxic Chemotherapy

This is a randomized, multi-center, single dose, open-label and Neulasta controlled phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of F-627 in women with Stage I - III invasive breast cancer receiving chemotherapy treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase III, global, two arm, open label clinical study will randomize approximately 400 female subjects (approximately 200 per arm) with Stage I - III invasive breast cancer who are to receive neoadjuvant or adjuvant myelotoxic TC chemotherapy treatment (docetaxel + cyclophosphamide, 75 and 600 mg/m2, respectively). Subjects in this study will be those who are scheduled to undergo at least four 21-day cycles of chemotherapy treatment. Subjects may be scheduled for more than 4 cycles of chemotherapy; however, study participation will be limited to a subject's first 4 cycles.

The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of F-627 given as a single fixed dose (20 mg) pre-filled syringe as compared to Neulasta® standard dosing (6 mg) in the first chemotherapy cycle. The primary endpoint will be the duration of grade 4 (severe) neutropenia - the number of days in which the patient has had an absolute neutrophil count (ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L) observed in chemotherapy cycle 1.

Approximately 24 hours after chemotherapy completion in each cycle (Day 2 of the cycle), subjects will receive one of the following treatments:

Arm 1: F-627, 20 mg fixed dose pre-filled syringe, administered on Day 2 of each of 4 chemotherapy cycles.

Arm 2: 6 mg fixed dose Neulasta®, administered on Day 2 of each of 4 chemotherapy cycles Randomization will occur in an equal ratio (1:1) using a central randomization system (IWRS) on Day 1 of the study, the day of chemotherapy administration for the first chemotherapy cycle.

This study is open-label, however, study drug injections are to be administered separately by qualified study personnel to allow study investigators to remain blinded and perform study assessments without knowledge of treatment assignment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration in Days of Grade 4 Neutropenia in Chemotherapy Cycle 1

    Eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects were dosed with either the F 627 20 mg/dose PFS or Neulasta® 6 mg/dose as the study drug in each chemotherapy cycle. Subjects remained in their assigned treatment arm throughout the study. Subjects were dosed subcutaneously (SC) 24 to 28 hours after receiving TC chemotherapy (75 mg/m2 docetaxel + 600 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide) on Day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle that the subject underwent (up to 4 cycles). Grade 4 (severe) neutropenia was defined as ANC <0.5 × 109/L within the first 12 days of chemotherapy.

    Measured: The first of 4, 21-day chemotherapy cycles (average 3 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Duration in Days of Use of Intravenous Antibiotic

    The duration of use of IV antibiotics was defined as the number of days in which IV antibiotics were administered

    Measured: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)

  2. Duration in Days of Hospitalization

    The duration in days of patients been hospitalized for febrile neutropenia (FN) or any infection. Febrile neutropenia is defined as a single oral temperature of ≥38.3°C (101°F) or a temperature of >38.0°C (100.4°F) sustained for >1 hour and ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L on the same day.

    Measured: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)

  3. The Number of Participants With Grade 4 Neutropenia for Chemotherapy Cycle 1

    The number of participants with grade 4 neutropenia for chemotherapy cycle 1. Grade 4 (severe) neutropenia was defined as ANC <0.5 × 109/L within the first 12 days of chemotherapy.

    Measured: The first of 4, 21-day chemotherapy cycles (average 3 weeks)

  4. The Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia Considering All Chemotherapy Cycles.

    The number of participants with febrile neutropenia, considering all chemotherapy cycles.

    Measured: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)

  5. The Number of Participants With Use of IV Antibiotics Considering All Chemotherapy Cycles.

    The number of participants with use of IV antibiotics, considering all chemotherapy cycles.

    Measured: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)

  6. The Number of Participants in Hospitalization for Febrile Neutropenia or Any Infection Considering All Chemotherapy Cycles

    The number of participants in hospitalization for febrile neutropenia or any infection, .

    Measured: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing F-627 and Neulasta in people with Breast Cancer and Neutropenia, run by EVIVE Biotechnology at 1 site in United States.

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 21 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 3 Jul 2023. 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 United States. 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 7 May 2021). 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 in Days of Grade 4 Neutropenia in Chemotherapy Cycle 1 (time frame: The first of 4, 21-day chemotherapy cycles (average 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 3 Jul 2023.
