Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to observe the efficacy and safety of Efbemalenograstim Alfa in the prevention of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reduction after chemotherapy in Ovarian and Cervical cancer patients at risk of platinum-containing chemotherapy with risk factors in febrile neutropenia (FN).

Description:

This study is a single-arm, multicenter clinical trial. A total of 83 patients will be enrolled, including 55 patients with primary epithelial ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer) and 28 patients with primary or recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer in the first-line setting.

1) Ovarian Cancer

Chemotherapy regimen (Paclitaxel + Carboplatin ± Bevacizumab):

Paclitaxel 175mg/m2, intravenous infusion over 3 hours, on day 1; followed by Carboplatin Area under the curve 5(AUC5), intravenous infusion over 1 hour, on day 1; Bevacizumab 7.5-15 mg/kg, on day 1, administered as intravenous infusion; repeated every 3 weeks.

(2) Cervical Cancer

Chemotherapy regimen (Paclitaxel + Carboplatin/Cisplatin ± Bevacizumab):

Paclitaxel 175mg/m2, intravenous infusion over 3 hours, on day 1; followed by Carboplatin AUC5, intravenous infusion over 1 hour, on day 1, or Cisplatin 50-80mg/m2, intravenous infusion over 1-3 hours, on day 1; Bevacizumab 7.5-15 mg/kg, on day 1, administered as intravenous infusion; repeated every 3 weeks.

Efbemalenograstim Alfa should be administered subcutaneously, 20mg per injection, within 24-48 hours after the completion of each chemotherapy cycle.

3. Planned to receive 3-6 cycles of paclitaxel + carboplatin/cisplatin ± bevacizumab therapy.

4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score < 2.

5. Expected survival time > 3 months.

6. Before enrollment, neutrophil count (ANC) = 2.0 × 10^9/L, hemoglobin (Hb) = 90.0 g/L, and platelet (PLT) = 80 × 10^9/L.

2. Pregnant or lactating women.

3. History of bone marrow or stem cell transplantation.

4. Concurrent malignancies other than primary ovarian or cervical cancer.

5. Treatment with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor within 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

6. Psychiatric illness or brain metastases.

10. Allergy to recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor or excipients of the study drug, or allergy to rubber.

11. Known positive serum reaction for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS.

12. Active tuberculosis or recent history of contact with a tuberculosis patient unless negative on tuberculin skin test, or receiving treatment for tuberculosis, or suspected case on chest X-ray examination.

13. Sickle cell anemia patients.

14. Use of other investigational drugs within 1 month prior to enrollment.

15. Patients who abuse alcohol or drugs, affecting their compliance with the study.

16. The investigator believes that the patient has a disease or symptom that makes them unsuitable for participation in this study, or that the study drug may harm the patient's health or affect the assessment of adverse events.
