Study summary

This study is adaptive design and it consists of stage I and stage II.

Stage I is multi-center, parallel-group, single-blind, phase II study to determine the adequate dose of GCPGC in chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. 2 Different doses of GCPGC will be investigated in a total of 60 Breast cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy.

Stage II is multi-center, parallel-group, double-blind,phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once per cycle GCPGC in chemotherapy-induced neutropenia compared to Neulasta (pegfilgrastim). A total of 120 patients receiving chemotherapy will participate into this phase.

Read the detailed description

GCPGC ia a solution for containing pegfilgrastim. Pegfilgrastim is a covalent conjugate of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) which has long half life compared to filgrastim, resulting in dosing advantage.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Stage I - Arm I: GCPGC I (3.6mg)

    GCPGC 3.6mg, sc, once at Day 2 per cycle (in patients receiving chemotherapy at Day 1)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Duration of grade 4 neutropenia(ANC<500mm3) for cycle 1

    Stage I: The difference in mean duration of grade 4 neutropenia between GCPGC 3.6mg and GCPGC 6mg is measured by check ANC in cycle I. Stage II : The difference in mean duration of grade 4 neutropenia between GCPGC which dose was determined at Stage I and Neulasta is measured by check ANC in cycle 1.

    Time frame: in cycle 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to ANC recovery (≥2,000/mm3) after nadir in cycle 1

    Time frame: in cycle 1

  2. Depth of ANC nadir in cycle 1

    Time frame: in cycle 1

  3. Rates of Febrile neutropenia in all cycles

    Stage I: only in cycle 1; Stage II: in all cycles

    Time frame: in all cycles

  4. Rates of severe neutropenia persisting more than 3 days in cycle 1 (only for Stage II)

    Time frame: in cycle 1

  5. ANC values at Day 7 in all cycles (only for Stage II)

    Time frame: Day 7 in alll cycles

  6. Rates of delay or dose-reduction of chemotherapy due to neutropenia (only for Stage II)

    Time frame: all cycles

  7. Number of hospitalization due to febrile neutropenia in cycle 2 and after (only for Stage II)

    Time frame: in clycle 2-6

  8. Number of intravenous antimicrobial treatments due to febrile neutropenia

    Time frame: in all cycles

Other outcomes

  1. Incidence of antibody development in patients receiving GCPGC compared to Neulasta

    Time frame: 3 months after last treatment

  2. Vital sign, Physical examination, Laboratory tests, Occurrence of adverse reactions

    Time frame: in all cycles
