概要 Purpose: We performed post-marketing surveillance of the safety and effectiveness of 3.6 mg pegfilgrastim to prevent chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN) in real-world conditions in Japan.
Methods: Patients were registered between June 2015 and May 2017 and followed prospectively. Pegfilgrastim was administered once every chemotherapy cycle (maximum 6 cycles). Use of pegfilgrastim, safety, and effectiveness in reducing FN were evaluated.
Results: From 300 institutions, 1,597 patients were registered and 1,479 patients were analyzed. Pegfilgrastim was given as primary prophylaxis (750 patients), as secondary prophylaxis (727 patients), or for therapeutic purposes (2 patients). The
most common primary diseases were breast cancer (51.4%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (25.6%). Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 36.4% of patients and adverse drug reactions (ADR) in 18.5%. Common ADRs included back pain (3.6%), pyrexia (3.1%), arthralgia (2.1%), hepatic function abnormal (1.5%), myalgia (1.4%), and bone pain (1.0%). All back and/or bone pain-related ADRs were non-serious and well-controlled with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Docetaxel-cyclophosphamide therapy among breast cancer patients was a factor influencing bone and/or back pain-related AEs by multivariate logistic regression analysis (odds ratios vs. fluorouracil-epirubicin-cyclophosphamide therapy: 2.32, P=0.031).FN was observed in 5.3% (primary prophylaxis) and 2.5% (secondary prophylaxis) of the effectiveness analysis set in cycle1 and decreased with increasing cycles.
Conclusion This survey confirmed that both primary and secondary prophylaxis using pegfilgrastim reduced FN in the realworld setting. No new safety concerns were identified.
This survey was retrospectively registered on 26 April 2024 in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN000054267).
