Measure
Empegfilgrastim 3 mg
Patients will receive a single administration of empegfilgrastim at a dose of 3 mg subcutaneously , 24 h after the chemotherapy empegfilrastim: Empegfilgrastim is supplied as solution for injection 3 mg/ml. Empegfilgrastim is to be administered 24 h after the chemotherapy at dose of 3 or 6 mg.
Empegfilgrastim 6 mg
Patients will receive a single administration of empegfilgrastim at a dose of 6 mg subcutaneously, 24 h after the chemotherapy empegfilrastim: Empegfilgrastim is supplied as solution for injection 3 mg/ml. Empegfilgrastim is to be administered 24 h after the chemotherapy at dose of 3 or 6 mg.
Filgrastim
Patients will receive filgrastim subcutaneously daily (until ANC 10 000/μL or for 14 days, whichever occurred first), starting 24 h after the chemotherapy filgrastim: Filgrastim should be administered no earlier than 24 hours after the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Filgrastim should be administered daily for up to 2 weeks until the ANC has reached 10 000/mm3 following the expected chemotherapy-induced neutrophil nadir.
