Effectiveness of Reduced GCSF Dosing in Patients With a Low to Moderate Risk of Febrile Neutropenia (PAPALDO)

January 5, 2015 updated by: Jules Bordet Institute

A Phase II Randomized Study to Verify the Papaldo's Hypothesis : the Effectiveness of a Reduced Dosing of G-CSF in Chemotherapy-treated Patients With a Low to Moderate Risk of Febrile Neutropenia

The study aims to confirm that a reduced dosage of GCSF is effective in preventing febrile neutropenia among patients with breast cancer, treated with chemotherapy and presenting with a low to moderate risk of developing febrile neutropenia.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Occurrence of a febrile neutropenic episode defined as fever (>=38.5°C once or >=38°C twice within 12 hours interval) and neutropenia (ANC < 0.5 IU)
Time Frame: At the beginning of 2nd chemotherapy cycle, no more than 30 days after randomization
At the beginning of 2nd chemotherapy cycle, no more than 30 days after randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Need for unplanned hospitalization
Time Frame: At the beginning of second chemotherapy cycle, no more than 30 days after randomization
Unplanned hospitalization is defined as the need to admit a patient outside of the schedule that was planned for chemotherapy administration
At the beginning of second chemotherapy cycle, no more than 30 days after randomization
Complicated febrile neutropenic episode
Time Frame: At the beginning of the second chemotherapy cycle, no more than 30 days after randomization
A complicated febrile neutropenic episode is defined as a febrile neutropenic episode (see above) that does not resolve without the occurrence of serious medical complication as defined in Klasterky J et al; JCO 2000 : 3038-3051
At the beginning of the second chemotherapy cycle, no more than 30 days after randomization
Mortality any cause
Time Frame: 30 days from randomization
