Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase III, randomised, assessor-blind, parallel group, multicentre trial. At least 180 adult subjects with high-risk Stage II or Stage III / IV breast cancer will be randomised (1:1) to receive either Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim (n = 90) or Neulastim (n = 90) in 8 to 10 sites in Brazil. Subjects will undergo a maximum of 4 cycles of myelosuppressive chemotherapy (21 days per cycle).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim

A single 6 mg dose on Day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle of Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim (subcutaneous injection)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim

Intervention Type DRUG

Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim is a clear, colourless solution for injection (6 mg/0.6 mL) provided in a single use prefilled syringe. Subjects randomised to Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim will receive 6 mg administered as a single SC injection in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh on Day 2 of each CTX cycle, approximately 24 hours after

Neulastim

A single 6 mg dose on Day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle of Neulastim (subcutaneous injection)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Neulastim

Intervention Type DRUG

Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim is a clear, colourless solution for injection (6 mg/0.6 mL) provided in a single use prefilled syringe. Subjects randomised to Eurofarma's pegfilgrastim will receive 6 mg administered as a single SC injection in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh on Day 2 of each CTX cycle, approximately 24 hours after
