Delayed Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Administration after Chemotherapy Reduces Total G-CSF Doses without Affecting Neutrophil Recovery in a Randomized Clinical Study in Children with Solid Tumors.

Abstract：

:The use of G-CSF after myelotoxic chemotherapy accelerates neutrophil recovery reducing the risk of febrile neutropenia. Current guidelines recommend initiating G-CSF 24 hours after myelotoxic chemotherapy. However, the optimal timing of post-chemotherapy G-CSF administration has not been elucidated. Our previous work in murine models demonstrated that the reappearance of myeloid progenitors does not occur in bone marrow until 3-4 days after completion of chemotherapy suggesting that delayed G-CSF administration may be equally efficacious compared to current practice. We conducted a prospective, randomized, crossover study to compare the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) recovery after chemotherapy and a delayed G-CSF administration to a standard G-CSF administration schedule with early G-CSF start. A total of 21 children with solid tumors who received 2 identical cycles of myelotoxic chemotherapy were randomized to start receiving G-CSF either 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy or on the day that their ANC dropped below 1,000/mm3. There was no significant difference in the time to neutrophil recovery (ANC > 1,000/mm3 post nadir) between the two G-CSF administration schedules: 16.0 ± 0.5 days in the standard group compared to 16.7 ± 0.4 days in the delayed group (p = 0.36). The total number of G-CSF doses given, however, was significantly less in the delayed group: 6.7 ± 0.6 compared to 10.5 ± 0.6 doses in the standard group (p < 0.0001). Our data show that a delayed administration of post chemotherapy G-CSF resulted in a significant reduction in the number of G-CSF injections without compromising the G-CSF effects on neutrophil recovery.
