Neutropenia Breast Cancer | Drug: SPI-2012 Drug: Pegfilgrastim Drug: Docetaxel Drug: Cyclophosphamide | Phase 3 |
This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of SPI-2012 versus pegfilgrastim in participants with early-stage breast cancer treated with TC chemotherapy as measured by the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN).
Each cycle was 21 days. Four cycles were evaluated for this study. On Day 1 of each cycle, participants received TC chemotherapy. On Day 2 of each cycle, participants received study drug (SPI-2012 or pegfilgrastim).
After cycle 1, as applicable, participants who received at least one dose of study drug will be followed for safety for 12 months after the last dose of study treatment.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: (Arm 1): SPI-2012 and TC
At each cycle for 4 cycles, participants received SPI-2012 at a fixed dose of 13.2 milligrams (mg)/0.6 milliliter (mL), [3.6 mg granulocyte colony-stimulating factor {G-CSF}] subcutaneously (SC) approximately 24-26 hours after receiving intravenous (IV) infusion of docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m^2 IV infusion per institute's standard of care. All participants were followed for 35 (±5) days after last study treatment or patient discontinuation and long-term safety follow-up continued for 12 months after last dose of study treatment.

- Duration of Severe Neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and daily on Days 4-15 in Cycle 1 (each cycle = 21 days) ]DSN was defined as the number of days of severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5×10^9 per liter [L]) from the first occurrence of ANC below the threshold.
- Time to Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Recovery in Cycle 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and daily on Days 4-15 in Cycle 1 (each cycle = 21 days) ]Time to ANC recovery was defined as the time from chemotherapy administration until the participants ANC increased to >=1.5×10^9/L after the expected nadir. For participants with ANC value >=1.5×10^9/L at all times, time to ANC Recovery was assigned a value of 0.
- Depth of ANC Nadir in Cycle 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and daily on Days 4-15 in Cycle 1 (each cycle = 21 days) ]The depth of ANC Nadir was defined as the lowest ANC value after administration of study drug (SPI-2012 or pegfilgrastim) in Cycle 1.
- Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia (FN) in Cycle 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and daily on Days 4-15 in Cycle 1 (each cycle = 21 days) ]FN was defined as an oral temperature >38.3 degree Celsius (°C) (101.0 degrees Fahrenheit [°F]) or two consecutive readings of >38.0°C (100.4°F) for 2 hours and ANC <1.0×10^9/L.
- Duration of Severe Neutropenia (DSN) in Cycles 2, 3 and 4 [ Time Frame: Days 1, 4, 7, 10, and 15 of Cycles 2, 3, and 4 (each cycle = 21 days) ]DSN was defined as the number of days of severe neutropenia (ANC <0.5×10^9/L) from the first occurrence of ANC below the threshold.
- Number of Participants With Neutropenic Complications in Cycle 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and daily on Days 4-15 in Cycle 1 (each cycle = 21 days) ]Neutropenic complications refer to hospitalizations due to neutropenic events and/or the use of anti-infectives due to neutropenia.
- Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia in Cycles 2, 3 and 4 [ Time Frame: Days 1, 4, 7, 10, and 15 of Cycles 2, 3, and 4 (each cycle = 21 days) ]FN was defined as an oral temperature >38.3°C (101.0°F) or two consecutive readings of >38.0°C (100.4°F) for 2 hours and ANC <1.0×10^9/L.
- Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) of TC Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: Cycles 1, 2, 3 and 4 (each cycle = 21 days) ]RDI was defined as the percentage of the planned dose of TC chemotherapy that each participant actually received during the study, and is expressed as the total dose received, divided by total dose planned multiplied by 100. The planned dose was defined as the dose that would be given if no doses were missed and/or no dose reductions were made for the number of cycles started. The total planned dose was the sum of planned doses over all cycles.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Death [ Time Frame: Up to 4 cycles (each cycle = 21 days) plus a 12-month follow-up from the last dose (up to 15 months) ]An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or study procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A TEAE is any AE that occurred from the first dose of study treatment through 12 months after the last dose of study treatment or 35 (±5) days after date of participant early discontinuation. SAE is defined as any AE which meets any of the following criteria: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, includes important medical events.
- Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: Up to 4 cycles (each cycle = 21 days) plus a 12-month follow-up from the last dose (up to 15 months) ]The number of participants with clinically significant hematology (including basophils, basophils/leukocytes, eosinophils, eosinophils/leukocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, lymphocytes/leukocytes, monocytes, monocytes/leukocytes, neutrophils, neutrophils/leukocytes, platelets, and white blood cells) and serum chemistry (including alanine aminotransferase [ALT], alkaline phosphatase [ALP], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], bilirubin, calcium, cholesterol, creatinine, potassium, sodium, and triglycerides) laboratory abnormalities were reported. Clinically significant findings in laboratory parameters were based on investigator's discretion according to Common Technical Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03.
