Study on the Efficacy and Safety of PEG-rhG-CSF in Preventing Neutropenia During Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy of Cervical Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled prospective study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of using (PEGylated Recombinant Human Granulocyte Stimulating Factor) PEG-rhG-CSF to prevent neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) regimen for cervical cancer. To find out the best time to use PEG-rhG CSF, and to explore investigate the effect of PEG-rhG-CSF on long-term bone marrow function in the process of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and finally to explore the clinical feasibility of using PEG-rhG-CSF to prevent neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy of TP regimen for cervical cancer.

Detailed Description
Study design: In this prospective, single-center, randomized controlled study, patients with locally advanced cervical cancer are randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the experimental group will receive PEG-rhG-CSF 6mg prevention during concurrent chemoradiotherapy, whereas the control group do not use PEG-rhG-CSF for prevention. When the patient's ANC is less than 1✕109/L, 5μg/kg rhG-CSF will be given for treatment until the ANC returned to 2✕109/L.
Case selection: patients with IIb-IIIb cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by histopathology, and three-week regimen of paclitaxel and carboplatin with Concurrent Radiotherapy.
Primary end point: incidence and duration of grade 3/4 neutropenia in patients. Secondary endpoints: 1) Incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN); 2) the rate of postponement of the course of radiotherapy, reduction in chemotherapy dose and postponement of the course of chemotherapy; 3) Changes of bone marrow function in patients 3 months and 6 months after radiotherapy.
Safety assessment: laboratory safety testing, including platelet count and hemoglobin. Evaluation of adverse events: infection, neutropenic fever, bone pain, etc.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: experimental group patients used 6 mg PEG-rhG-CSF prophylactically after chemotherapy |
Drug: PEG-rhG-CSF
During the concurrent chemoradiotherapy, a single subcutaneous injection of 6 mg PEG-rhG-CSF was given to the patient 2 hours after radiotherapy on the first day after the end of chemotherapy. Blood tests were performed weekly, if the patient's neutrophils were less than 1.0 × 109 / L during radiotherapy, rhG-CSF was given as a remedial treatment. If fever occurs, antibiotics were given promptly.

Placebo Comparator: control group patients did not use PEG-rhG-CSF for prevention and were given 5 ug/kg rhG-CSF when ANC<1✕109/L |
Drug: rhG-CSF
Blood tests were performed weekly, if the patient's neutrophils were less than 1.0 × 109 / L during radiotherapy, rhG-CSF was given as a remedial treatment. If fever occurs, antibiotics were given promptly.
