Use of Biosimilar Nivestim® to Prevent Chemo-induced Neutropenia. Real Life Study

Terminated
Conditions
Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia
Interventions
Biological: Nivestim®
Registration Number
NCT02454530
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to describe in real-life conditions the determinants of use of GCSF (Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor) Nivestim® in primary or secondary prophylaxis and in patients receiving chemotherapy for solid tumour according to the chemotherapy context: adjuvant or metastatic setting.

Detailed Description

This is a longitudinal, observational, prospective, multicentre, cohort study, conducted in France among a representative sample of public and/or private hospital-based oncologists.

Data will be collected by the investigator during three visits using data available in the patient medical record and obtained from patient questioning and clinical examination performed during the consultations:

* Baseline visit: prescription of Nivestim®.

* Follow-up visit: during the first cycle of chemotherapy after the first course of Nivestim®.

* Final visit: after the last cycle of chemotherapy or 16-18 weeks after inclusion.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants by Level of Importance of Factors Determining the Use of NivestimInclusion visit (Week 1)

The factors which determined the use of Nivestim among participants included participant's sex, young participant, elderly participant, past history of infection, comorbidities, life expectancy, past history of febrile neutropenia and severe neutropenia, occupational activity, family activity and other important criteria. Percentage of participants were categorized based upon the level of importance under different categories which included very important, important, relatively important, not important and not applicable.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Dose Reduction in Chemotherapy Due to NeutropeniaFollow-up visit (Week 3)

Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils (count of less than 1,500 neutrophils per microliter (microL) in blood) and was classified as Grade 1 (mild) with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 1000-1500 cells per microL, Grade 2 (moderate) with an ANC of 500-1000 cells per microL, or Grade 3 (severe) with an ANC lower than 500 cells per microL.

Number of Participants With Delayed Administration of Chemotherapy Cycle Due to NeutropeniaFollow-up visit (Week 3)

Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils (count of less than 1,500 neutrophils per microliter (microL) in blood) and was classified as Grade 1 (mild) with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 1000-1500 cells per microL, Grade 2 (moderate) with an ANC of 500-1000 cells per microL, or Grade 3 (severe) with an ANC lower than 500 cells per microL.

Change From Inclusion Visit in Disease Status as Measured by Number of Neutrophil Cells (Neutrophils), Platelet Count and Leukocyte Count at End of StudyInclusion visit (Week 1), End of study visit (up to Week 19)

Change in the disease status of the participant was measured by the change in the count of neutrophils (NPs), platelets and leukocytes as reported in this outcome measure.

Number of Participants With Unplanned Discontinuation of Chemotherapy at the End of Study VisitEnd of study visit (up to Week 19)

The reasons for unplanned discontinuation of chemotherapy included neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, other toxicity, development of resistance to treatment and other. Also, one participant could have more than one reason for unplanned discontinuation.

Number of Participants With Neutropenia and Febrile NeutropeniaFollow-up visit (Week 3); End of study visit (up to Week 19)

Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils (count of less than 1,500 neutrophils per microL in blood) and was classified as Grade 1 (mild) with an ANC of 1000-1500 cells per microL, Grade 2 (moderate) with an ANC of 500-1000 cells per microL, or Grade 3 (severe) with an ANC lower than 500 cells per microL. The incidence of neutropenia (between follow up and final visit) were described from the questionnaire completed by the investigator during the final visit. Febrile neutropenia was defined as tympanic or axillary body temperature greater than (\>) 38.5 degree celsius for \>1 hour and ANC less than (\<) 1.0 \*10\^9 neutrophils per liter. The incidence of febrile neutropenia were described from the questionnaire completed by the investigator during the follow-up and final visits. Only those categories which had atleast 1 abnormality have been reported in this outcome measure.

Change From Inclusion Visit in Disease Status as Measured by Participants Performance Status at End of StudyInclusion visit (Week 1); End of study visit (up to Week 19)

The Karnofsky performance scale was used for rating participant activities of daily living. The KPS scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score means the participant is better able to carry out daily activities. The lower the Karnofsky score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses. The score ranges included as 100 (Normal; no complaints), 90 (Able to carry on normal activity), 80 (Normal activity with effort), 70 (Cares for self; unable to carry on normal activity), 60 (Requires occasional assistance, but is able to care), 50 (Requires considerable assistance and frequent medical care), 40 (Disabled; requires special care), 30 (Severely disabled), 20 (Very sick; hospital admission necessary), 10 (Moribund; fatal processes progressing rapidly) and 0 (Dead).

Number of Participants Who Continued ChemotherapyFollow-up visit (Week 3); End of study visit ( up to Week 19)

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs as a part of a standardize treatment regimen. Chemotherapy may be given with curative intent, or it may aim to prolong life or to reduce symptoms.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued ChemotherapyFollow-up visit (Week 3); End of study visit ( up to Week 19)
Number of Participants With Unplanned Discontinuation of Chemotherapy at Follow Up VisitFollow-up visit (Week 3)
Number of Participants With Change in Chemotherapy Protocol at End of Study VisitEnd of study visit (up to Week 19)

Number of participants with change in chemotherapy protocol due to each conditions (neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, neutropenia/febrile neutropenia, other toxicity, neutropenia/other toxicity) has been reported in this outcome measure.

Change From Inclusion Visit in Disease Status as Measured by Haemoglobin Level at End of Study VisitInclusion visit (Week 1), End of study visit (up to Week 19)

Change in the disease status of the participant was measured by the change in the hemoglobin level as reported in this outcome measure.

Number of Participants Who Wished to Again Have Nivestim Treatment If NecessaryEnd of study visit (up to Week 19)
Pain Experienced by Participant During Injection of Nivestim as Assessed by Pain at the Injection SiteEnd of study visit (up to Week 19)

Pain experienced by participant at the injection site was measured on a scale 0 to 10 (0 = no pain to 10 = maximum pain), where higher score indicates maximum pain.

Number of Participants With Chemotherapy Satisfaction as Per Doctor Assessment After Chemotherapy TreatmentEnd of study visit (up to Week 19)

Participant's satisfaction after the chemotherapy treatment was assessed by the doctor and was categorized under the 4 categories as very satisfied, satisfied, not very satisfied and dissatisfied.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Inclusion visit (Week 1) up to end of study visit (up to Week 19)

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in participants who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) was adverse event that started or worsened in severity after Inclusion visit up to end of study visit (up to Week 19). AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse event. If a participant who reported an SAE also reported an AE that was not serious, that would count as 1 participant in the total number of participants reporting AEs.
