ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Pegteograstim (Neulapeg) is a recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor conjugated with methoxy-maleimide-polyethylene glycol. We conducted a single-arm study investigating its safety and noninferiority to conventional filgrastim in children and adolescents. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Patients younger than 21 years with solid tumors were eligible for the study. Pegteograstim was administered on day 7 of the fourth chemotherapy cycle. Toxicities were monitored, and the change in absolute neutrophil count was compared with that of the historic control (conventional filgrastim). This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02787876.RESULTS:
Thirty-two patients were enrolled. Adverse events possibly related to pegteograstim were musculoskeletal pain (n=3), skin nodule (n=1), paroxysmal cough (n=1), urticaria (n=2), rash (n=1), and itching (n=1). These adverse events were all grade 1 or 2. Duration of neutropenia (ANC<500/µL) was shorter in the pegteograstim group compared with the historic control (median 6.5 vs. 10 d, P=0.004). The time from day 0 to neutrophil recovery (ANC>500/µL) was shorter in the pegteograstim group (median 15 vs. 18 d, P=0.003).CONCLUSIONS:
Pegteograstim is safe and shows comparable efficacy to conventional filgrastim in children and adolescents. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy.
