Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of test doses of SPI-2012 on the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) during Cycle 1 in participants with breast cancer who are candidates for adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

This is an open label, multicenter, dose ranging study, sequentially enrolled by study dose, with a non-inferiority design to compare the effectiveness of SPI-2012 relative to a fixed dose of pegfilgrastim as a concurrent active control to each dose of SPI-2012 in participants with breast cancer. This study included four arms comprising three dose levels of SPI-2012 (Arm 1: 45 µg/kg, Arm 2: 135 µg/kg, Arm 3: 270 µg/kg) versus pegfilgrastim (Arm 4: 6 mg). The start of study is defined as the initiation of treatment with SPI-2012 or pegfilgrastim. The duration of treatment consists of a maximum of 4 cycles (21 days per cycle) beginning on Day 1 with chemotherapy administration and continue through Day 21, plus a 30-day follow-up period, unless any of the discontinuation criteria applies.

The target population are participants with breast cancer who are candidates for neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with Docetaxel + Cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy. All participants who receive at least 1 dose of either SPI-2012 or pegfilgrastim were followed for safety through 30 days after their last dose of study treatment or until all treatment-related adverse events (AEs) have resolved or returned to baseline/Grade 1, whichever is longer, or until it is determined that the outcome will not change with further follow-up.
