简要总结
RATIONALE: Antibiotics may decrease the side effects of neutropenia and fever caused by chemotherapy. Colony-stimulating factors such as G-CSF may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether antibiotic therapy plus G-CSF is more effective than antibiotic therapy alone for treating side effects caused by chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy with or without G-CSF in treating children who have neutropenia and fever that are caused by chemotherapy.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine whether filgrastim (G-CSF) used in addition to standard antibiotic therapy accelerates time to resolution of febrile neutropenia in children receiving chemotherapy.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive standard antibiotic therapy.
- Arm II: Patients receive treatment as in arm I. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV once a day until at least 2 consecutive afebrile days have passed and absolute neutrophil count is at least 500/mm3.
Patients are followed for 3 days.

主要结局
Time to Resolution of Febrile Neutropenia
Time to Resolution of Febrile Neutropenia (Days of antibiotic treatment until the resolution of febrile neutropenia): The time to resolution of febrile neutropenia is defined as the number of days elapsed before the first day with both a temperature of less than 38.0oC and an ANC of equal to or greater than 500/μL.
