e20061 Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF, brand name: Jinyouli) in the primary and secondary prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with lymphoma. Methods: This single-center, one-arm and open-label clinical study enrolled 119 patients with lymphoma in Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute from May 2016 to December 2018. Patients ≥45 kg received a single dose of PEG-rhG-CSF for 6mg, < 45kg for 3mg, subcutaneous injection once in 24-48 h after chemotherapy. Results: 119 lymphoma patients, including 60 primary and 59 secondary prevention patients, underwent a total of 427 cycles of chemotherapy. The overall incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) was 6.32% (27/427), with rates of 5.39% and 7.17% in the primary and secondary prevention groups, respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups ( P> 0.05).The incidence of FN was significantly lower in the second cycle than in the first cycle in both the primary and secondary prevention groups ( In the primary group: cycle 1 vs. cycle 2: 15.00% vs. 2.22%, respectively, P= 0.027; In the secondary group: cycle 1 vs. cycle 2: 16.95% vs. 5.08%, respectively, P= 0.040). The overall incidence of grade Ⅳ neutropenia was 13.58% (58/427), with rates of 8.82% and 17.94% in the primary and secondary prevention groups, respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups ( P= 0.006). The incidence of grade Ⅳ neutropenia was significantly lower in the second cycle than in the first cycle (In the primary group: cycle 1 vs. cycle 2: 25.00% vs. 4.44%, respectively, P= 0.005; In the secondary group: cycle 1 vs. cycle 2: 47.46% vs. 11.86%, respectively, P< 0.001). The main treatment-related adverse event was bone pain, with an incidence of 2.52% (3/119). Conclusions: PEG-rhG-CSF can effectively reduce the incidence of FN and neutropenia with good safety in patients with lymphoma after chemotherapy. Primary prevention can significantly reduce the risk of grade IV neutropenia in all chemotherapy cycles compared with the secondary prevention. Clinical trial information: NCT02905916 .

e12515 Background: To explore the efficacy and safety of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF, brand name: Jinyouli) in the prevention of neutropenia in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with EC regimen (epirubicin combined with cyclophosphamide). Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with EC regimen in Hengshui People's Hospital between January 2018 to October 2019. In cycle 1, all patients developed grade 3/4 neutropenia and PEG-rhG-CSF was used prophylactically in the subsequent cycles. The incidence of grade 3/4 neutropenia, febrile neutropenia (FN), chemotherapy delay and dose adjustment were observed as well as relative dose intensity (RDI), antibiotics application and adverse events. Results: 96 breast cancer patients were enrolled and all of them developed grade 3/4 neutropenia (100%) in cycle 1. After secondary prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF, the incidence of grade 3/4 neutropenia decreased to 26.32% (25/95), 12.50% (10/80) and 13.63% (9/66) in cycle 2-4, respectively, with a statistically significant difference with cycle 1 ( P<0.001); The incidence of FN decreased from 2.08% (2/96) in cycle 1 to 0% (0/95), 1.25% (1/80) and 0% (0/66) in the subsequent cycles ( P>0.05). The incidence of chemotherapy delay was 2.08% (2/96), 2.50% (2/80) and 1.52% (1/66) in cycle 2-4, respectively, and the incidence of dose adjustment was 9.38% (9/96) in cycle 2. There was no dose adjustment in cycle 3-4. The average RDI was 92%, 92% and 94% in cycle 2-4, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fever (2.08%), muscle pain (1.04%) and fatigue (1.04%). Conclusions: PEG-rhG-CSF secondary prevention can effectively reduce the incidence of neutropenia in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with EC regimen, which ensures the implementation of standard-dose chemotherapy with good safety.
