Groups and Cohorts

Intervention Details:

Drug: Udenyca
non-interventional study


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measure:

To estimate the incidence of FN among subjects treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy for the treatment of non-myeloid malignancies and receiving Udenyca with every administered chemotherapy cycle for FN prophylaxis in the real-world outcomes setting.


Eligibility Criteria

  • Ages Eligible for Study: 18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
  • Sexes Eligible for Study: All
  • Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
  • Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study will be comprised of individuals with biopsy-proven cancer who are receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapies and who have been prescribed Udenyca due to high-risk of Febrile Neutropenia (FN).


Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
  • Subject ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form
  • Subject with biopsy-proven malignancy starting myelosuppressive chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant or first line advanced/metastatic setting with at least 4 anticipated chemotherapy cycles
  • Life expectancy > 6 months
  • Subject is in a high-risk category for FN such as: 1) Patient is starting or has recently (within the past 7 days) started myelosuppressive chemotherapy regimen with a high FN risk > 20%, 2) patient is on a chemotherapy regimen considered intermediate FN risk 10% to 20% risk but is determined by treating physician to be at high-risk therefore requiring primary prophylaxis with myeloid growth factor, or 3) patient is on secondary prophylaxis for FN(PER NCCN GUIDELINES)
  • Subject who is starting adjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy or first line chemotherapy in the metastatic setting and will be receiving at least 4 cycles of planned chemotherapy
  • Subjects already receiving any other Pegfilgrastim (switching) as a FN prophylaxis will be allowed to enroll so long as they have at least two cycles left in planned treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
  • Subject initiating chemotherapy regimen with < 14 days between cytotoxic and G-CSF drug dosing
  • Planned chemotherapy dose reduction for cycle 1
  • Known history of serious allergic reactions to Pegfilgrastim or filgrastim.
  • Contraindication to short acting G-CSFs, Pegfilgrastim biosimilar PFS
  • Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or
  • ≤ 28 days before screening/enrollment since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study
  • Subject who has received radiation < 2 weeks prior to study enrollment
  • Any co-morbidity in the opinion of investigator will prevent the subject from receiving chemotherapy
  • Subject has significant abnormalities on the most recent laboratory test prior to Screening/Enrollment per the Investigator including but not limited to the following:
  • white blood cell (WBC) < 4, ANC < lower limit of normal (LLN), Hemoglobin< 10 g/dL, Hematocrit < 30%, Platelet count < 100,000, Creatinine ≥ 1.5 or glomerular filtration rate < 30 (as calculated by Cockcroft-Gault Equation), total Bilirubin ≥ 2.0, aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ≥ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN), subject without liver metastasis or AST/ALT ≥ 5 ULN in a subject with liver metastasis
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection by history
  • History of solid organ or stem cell transplant
