PG - 1660-1669 LID - 10.1002/cam4.1388 [doi] AB - This randomized, open-label, active-controlled study investigated the safety and efficacy of three doses of Rolontis (eflapegrastim), a novel, long-acting myeloid growth factor, versus pegfilgrastim in breast cancer patients being treated with docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC). The primary efficacy endpoint was duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) during the first cycle of treatment. Patients who were candidates for adjuvant/neoadjuvant TC chemotherapy were eligible for participation. TC was administered on Day 1, followed by 45, 135, or 270 mug/kg Rolontis or 6 mg pegfilgrastim on Day 2. Complete blood counts were monitored daily when the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) fell to <1.5 x 10(9) /L. Up to four cycles of TC were investigated. The difference in DSN (time from ANC <0.5 x 10(9) /L to ANC recovery >/=2.0 x 10(9) /L) between the Rolontis and pegfilgrastim groups was -0.28 days (confidence interval [CI]: -0.56, -0.06) at 270 mug/kg, 0.14 days (CI: -0.28, 0.64) at 135 mug/kg, and 0.72 days (CI: 0.19, 1.27) at 45 mug/kg. Noninferiority to pegfilgrastim was demonstrated at 135 mug/kg (P = 0.002) and 270 mug/kg (P < .001), with superiority demonstrated at 270 mug/kg (0.03 days; P = 0.023). The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were bone pain, myalgia, arthralgia, back pain, and elevated white blood cell counts, with similar incidences across groups. All doses of Rolontis were well tolerated, and no new or significant treatment-related toxicities were observed. In Cycle 1, Rolontis demonstrated noninferiority at the 135 mug/kg dose and statistical superiority in DSN at the 270 mug/kg dose when compared to pegfilgrastim. CI - (c) 2018 The Authors.
