Treatment for Subjects With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

July 16, 2009 updated by: Amgen

An Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel, Phase II Study of CHOP Chemotherapy and Rituximab Administered Every 14 Days, With Pegfilgrastim or Filgrastim Support, for the Treatment of Subjects With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel study was designed to evaluate whether a single fixed-dose subcutaneous (SC) administration of pegfilgrastim or daily administration of Filgrastim for absolute neutrophil count (ANC) support would assist in allowing the planned dose-on-time (PDOT) of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy with Rituximab every 14 days in subjects with aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma by reducing the duration of neutropenia and incidence of febrile neutropenia.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The primary objective was to provide preliminary information on the ability of pegfilgrastim or Filgrastim to support planned dose on time (PDOT) application of CHOP chemotherapy with Rituximab given every 14 days, to subjects with NHL.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The proportion of chemotherapy cycles given at the PDOT in both arms.
Response rates (complete response and partial response) in both arms
The safety profile in cycles 1-6
Subject self-reported outcomes
