Popis: Background Primary febrile neutropenia (FN) prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin or granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSF) is recommended with docetaxel-cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer (EBC). A pragmatic randomised trial compared the superiority of G-CSF to ciprofloxacin and a cost-utility analysis were conducted. Methods EBC patients receiving TC chemotherapy were randomised to ciprofloxacin or G-CSF. The primary outcome was a composite of FN and non-FN treatment-related hospitalisation. Secondary outcomes included; rates of FN, non-FN treatment-related hospitalisation, chemotherapy dose reductions/delays/discontinuations. Primary analysis was performed with the intention to treat population. Cost-utility analyses were conducted from the Canadian public payer perspective. Results 458 eligible patients were randomised: 228 to ciprofloxacin and 230 to G-CSF. For the primary endpoint there was non-statistically significant difference (Risk difference = −6.7%, 95%CI = −13.5%–0.1%, p = 0.061) between ciprofloxacin patients (46,20.2%) and G-CSF (31,13.5%). Patients receiving ciprofloxacin were more likely to experience FN (36/228, 15.8% vs 13/230, 5.7%) than patients receiving G-CSF (p
Highlights • Primary febrile neutropenia (FN) prophylaxis is indicated for docetaxel-cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy. • In this multicentre trial 458 breast cancer patients receiving TC chemotherapy were randomised to ciprofloxacin or to G-CSF. • For the primary endpoint of FN and non-FN treatment-related hospitalizations, G-CSF was not superior over ciprofloxacin. • While there were reduced FN rates with G-CSF, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was C$1,760,796 per one QALYWALY gained.
