What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Double-Blind Phase: Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycle 1
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (cycle length = 21 days)
Severe neutropenia was defined as Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5 x 10^9/liter [L]). The duration of severe neutropenia was calculated by cycle as the number of days from the first day in which the ANC fell below 0.5 x 10^9/L after beginning a chemotherapy cycle until the participant had an ANC ≥0.5 x 10^9/L within the cycle.
Cycle 1 (cycle length = 21 days)
Open-Label Phase: Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycle 1
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (cycle length = 21 days)
Severe neutropenia was defined as Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L). The duration of severe neutropenia was calculated by cycle as the number of days from the first day in which the ANC fell below 0.5 x 10^9/L after beginning a chemotherapy cycle until the participant had an ANC ≥0.5 x 10^9/L within the cycle. There was no planned statistical analysis for the open-label phase arm.
Cycle 1 (cycle length = 21 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Double-Blind Phase: Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia
Time Frame: Cycles 1-4 (each cycle = 21 days)
Febrile neutropenia was defined as an imputed or observed ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L and body temperature >38.5 degrees celsius (°C) occurring on the same day and for more than one hour (axillary measurement). Number of participants with febrile neutropenia over all cycles (Cycles 1 to 4) has been reported.
Cycles 1-4 (each cycle = 21 days)
Open-Label Phase: Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia
Time Frame: Cycles 1-4 (each cycle = 21 days)
Febrile neutropenia was defined as an imputed or observed ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L and body temperature >38.5 °C occurring on the same day and for more than one hour (axillary measurement). Number of participants with febrile neutropenia over all cycles (Cycles 1 to 4) has been reported.
Cycles 1-4 (each cycle = 21 days)
