Measure
Arm I (Fixed Flexible Filgrastim Schedule)
Period 1 Fixed: Patients receive filgrastim SC QD once daily started at 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy and stopped when ANC reaches at least 1,000/uL post nadir. Period 2 Flexible: Patients receive filgrastim:SC once starting on day 1 after chemotherapy in Arm I (fixed) and on any day when ANC drops below 1000/mcl in Arm II (flexible)
Arm II (Flexible Fixed Filgrastim Schedule)
Period 1 Flexible: Patients receive filgrastim SC QD started on the first day after chemotherapy and on any day when ANC falls below 1,000/uL and stopped when ANC reaches at least 1,000/uL post nadir. Period 2 Fixed: Patients receive filgrastim: given SC once daily starting on day 1 after chemotherapy in and daily thereafter until ANC reaches at least 1,000/uL post nadir.
