Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This international, prospective, observational, open-label, pharmaco-epidemiologic study observes cancer patients at risk for chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN) who are receiving filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006) for primary or secondary FN prophylaxis to better describe the patient population at risk for FN and treated prophylactically in physician's best clinical judgement with filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006), to describe prophylaxis patterns involving filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006), and to evaluate hematology levels and variability in hematological outcomes, impact on chemotherapy delivery, radiotherapy, surgery, and mortality. Additionally the study aims to identify patient cohorts who are vulnerable to poor response to FN prophylaxis and experience break-through episodes of FN, understand the differences between prophylaxis responders and non-responders, and describe the degree to which prophylaxis of FN is in congruence with guideline recommendations.

Table presents patient-level predictors for all-cause mortality: history of anemia at enrollment, liver/renal/cardiac comorbidity, poor performance (ECOG >=2) during study

  18. Patient-level Predictor for Cancer-related Mortality [All cycles. Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician, mean duration of study for 105 days]

    Objective 10: To model patient- and center-level variables between patients who died vs. survived during the course of primary or secondary prophylaxis with EP2006 in all patients and those with break-through FN episodes. Table presents patient level predictors for cancer-related mortality: female gender, poor performance (ECOG >=2) during study. ECOG score is a severity scale from 0 to 5 (highest) to grade toxicity and is defined as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, 5=lethal. ECOG is described in more detail by Oken et al, Am J Clin Oncol (CCT) 5:649-655, 1982.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Chemotherapy Toxicity (%FN Risk)
Description Objective 1: To describe the cancer patients requiring chemotherapy who, in their treating physician's best clinical judgment, are receiving EP2006 for the primary or secondary prophylaxis of FN in terms of demographics, clinical status, medical history, concomitant comorbid conditions and current status of disease, and prior and concomitant medications. Chemotherapy regimens were classified for FN risk (<10% risk, 10-20% risk or >20% risk) according to the published rates in the EORTC Guidelines under consideration of agent(s) and schedules. ANC=Absolute Neutrophil Count; CIN=Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia; FN=Febrile Neutropenia;
Time Frame Enrollment cycle. Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician.

Time Frame All cycles. Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician, mean duration of study for 105 days

Title Predictors of Absolute Neutrophil Count
Description Objective 6: To examine the multilevel determinants (patient, center) of hematological outcomes of primary and secondary prophylaxis with EP2006 to better understand the variability in outcomes achieved. Hierarchical modeling was used to test the relationship of patient- and physician/center-level variables and treatment response in terms of ANC. This analysis was conducted at the cycle level using a 1-cycle lag between treatment patterns and outcomes, that is study drug treatment patterns in one cycle predicted the ANC value at the beginning of the next cycle. Log-transformed ANC values were used. Table presents predictors for ANC: GCSF decision, study drug dose, tumor type, patient gender, ECOG, Hb Since log-transformed Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) values were used, Exp(beta) can be interpreted in terms of % change in ANC for each unit change in predictor or for each category relative to the referent (for categorical variables); Hb=Hemoglobin
Time Frame All cycles. Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician, mean duration of study for 105 days

Title Characteristics of Clusters: ECOG Performance Status
Description Objective 7: To identify different latent clusters of end-stage cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and being treated with EP2006 for the treatment or primary or secondary prophylaxis of FN using statistical data-mining techniques to profile patients based on medical history, concomitant comorbid conditions, and current clinical status. ECOG score is a severity scale from 0 to 5 (highest) to grade toxicity and is defined as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, 5=lethal. ECOG is described in more detail by Oken et al, Am J Clin Oncol (CCT) 5:649-655, 1982. FN=Febrile Neutropenia; ECOG: European Cooperative Oncology Group

92. Primary Outcome
Title Incidence of Outcomes
Description Objective 5: To describe the distribution of chemotherapy dose delays and reductions, surgery delays and cancellations, radiotherapy delays, dose reductions, and cancellations, and mortality (GCSF-related; FN-related; cancer-related; not related to GCSF, FN, or cancer; all-cause); and estimate the time-to-event for such events over the course of EP2006 treatment. Table presents incidences of different outcomes and composite outcome by chemotherapy risk group. ^Composite endpoint includes any of CIN grade 4, FN, CIN/FN-related hospitalization and CIN/FN-related chemotherapy disturbance. CIN: Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia; FN: Febrile Neutropenia; ANC: Absolute Neutrophil count; GIS: GCSF Initiation Score; Prophylaxis decision mentioned below are relative to EORTC guidelines (2010).
Time Frame All cycles. Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician, mean duration of study for 105 days

Title Patient-level Predictor for Cancer-related Mortality
Description Objective 10: To model patient- and center-level variables between patients who died vs. survived during the course of primary or secondary prophylaxis with EP2006 in all patients and those with break-through FN episodes. Table presents patient level predictors for cancer-related mortality: female gender, poor performance (ECOG >=2) during study. ECOG score is a severity scale from 0 to 5 (highest) to grade toxicity and is defined as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, 5=lethal. ECOG is described in more detail by Oken et al, Am J Clin Oncol (CCT) 5:649-655, 1982.
Time Frame All cycles. Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician, mean duration of study for 105 days

Adverse Events

Time Frame Patients were evaluated at the enrollment cycle and then re-evaluated at each cycle for a maximum total of 6 cycles; however, the scheduling of these evaluations was left to the discretion of the physician, mean duration of study for 105 days
Adverse Event Reporting Description The occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) not including not-related (S)AEs was sought by non-directive questioning of the patient at each visit during the study. Only Adverse events with a suspected relationship to EP2006 were collected.
Arm/Group Title EP2006
Arm/Group Description Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and who are prescribed commercially available filgrastim biosimilar for primary or secondary prophylaxis for FN. Number 1496 refers to the total number of patients who received at least one dose of study medication EP2006.
