Review of relevant literature The prophylactic use of CSFs in older patients was explored in several randomized studies of patients treated with CHOP or CHOP-like chemotherapy. In three cases, G-CSF reduced the risk of FN or infections by more than 50%.44,50,52 Similar results were reported in two retrospective reviews of practice experiences.42,56 Osby et al randomized patients receiving CHOP or CNOP to prophylactic G-CSF or not. CHOP patients randomized to receive G-CSF experienced significantly fewer episodes of severe (89% versus 55%) or febrile neutropenia (50% versus 34%; P .001), and significantly fewer deaths (62% versus 45%) with projected five-year survivals of 45% and 60% in the control and G-CSF arms respectively (P .04).47 In the study by Doorduijn et al, elderly NHL patients receiving CHOP and randomized to receive a fixed dose of G-CSF of 300 g daily experienced significantly fewer episodes of severe neutropenia (P .001), infection in cycle 1 (P .01) with modest increase in relative dose-intensity (P .05) and no difference in projected 5-year survival.51 Therefore, the evidence related to the impact of CSF support on survival remains inconclusive. 9. Recommendations for Use of CSFs in the Pediatric Population 2005 recommendation The use of CSFs in pediatric patients will almost always be guided by clinical protocols. As in adults, the use of CSFs is reasonable for the primary prophylaxis of pediatric patients with a likelihood of FN. Similarly, the use of CSFs for secondary prophylaxis or for therapy should be limited to high-risk patients. However, the potential risk for secondary myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome associated with CSFs represents a concern in children with ALL whose prognosis is otherwise excellent. For these reasons, the use of CSFs in children with ALL should be considered with caution. 2005 update Since the 2000 review, several multicenter randomized clinical trials have evaluated prophylactic CSFs in children, particularly with acute leukemia. A meta-analysis has been presented of 16 RCTs of prophylactic CSFs in children receiving systemic chemotherapy reporting significant reductions in FN (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.67 to 0.95; P .01), documented infection (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.97; P .02), and a length of hospitalization (weighted mean difference 1.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.7 days; P .00001).57 For pediatric ALL patients, however, G-CSF use is unlikely to lead to cost saving.58 The recent observation59 that the administration of G-CSF to children with ALL may increase the risk for developing a therapy-related myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome adds a further note of caution to its usage, especially in patients receiving concurrent irradiation, topoisomerase II inhibitors, or alkylating agents. For treatment of febrile neutropenia, Ozkaynak et al randomized pediatric patients with FN to receive antibiotics or antibiotics and CSF. The group that received CSF had fewer days of neutropenia, but only 1 less day with fever, and their hospital stay was decreased by 1 day.60 10. Recommendations for CSF Initiation, Duration, Dosing, and Administration 2005 recommendation for CSF dosing and administration CSF. CSF should be given 24 to 72 hours after the administration of myelotoxic chemotherapy. In the setting of high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell rescue,CSF can be given between 24 and 120 hours after administration of high-dose therapy. CSF should be continued until reaching an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of at least 2 to 3 109 /L. For PBPC mobilization, CSF should be started at least 4 days before the first leukapheresis procedure and continued until the last leukapheresis. In adults, the recommended CSF doses are 5 g/kg/d for G-CSF and 250 g/m2 /d for granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for all clinical settings other than PBPC mobilization. In the setting of PBPCmobilization,if G-CSFis used, a dose of 10 g/kg/dmay be preferable. The preferred route of CSF administration is subcutaneous. Pegylated G-CSF (pegfilgrastim). Pegfilgrastim 6 mg should be given once, 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy. Pegfilgrastim is not currently indicated for stem cell mobilization. The safety and efficacy of pegylated G-CSF has not yet been fully established in the setting of dose-dense chemotherapy. The 6 mg formulation should not be used in infants, children, or small adolescents weighing less than 45 kg. 2005 update G-CSF and GM-CSF. A recent study by Papaldo et al61 evaluated the role of alternative filgrastim dosing schedules for early stage breast cancer patients receiving epirubicin and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. A total of 506 patients were assigned to five different treatment arms with or without CSF. The CSF schedules were as follows: (1) 480 mcg/d subcutaneously days 8 to 14; (2) 480 mcg/d days 8, 10, 12, and 14; (3) 300 mcg/d day 8 to 14; (4) 300 mcg/d day 8, 10, 12, and 14; and (5) 300mcg/d days 8 and 12. Theincidence of grade 4 neutropenia was reduced from 41.6% in controls to 5.4% in G-CSF arms. The more important parameter, febrile neutropenia, was observed in only 7% of non-CSF patients, so CSFs would not have been suggested under existing guidelines. Schedule 5 was equivalent to the daily or alternate day schedules of CSF with respect to grade 3 and 4 neutropenia (P .77 and P .89, respectively) and percentage of delayed cycles of chemotherapy (P .43 and P .42, respectively). Compared with daily CSF administration (schedules 1 and 3), schedule 5 demonstrated less grade 1 to 3 bone pain (53% versus 29%, respectively; P .01) and less grade 1 to 2 fever (24% versus 8%, respectively; P .04). However, the small number of patients in each arm (42 to 52) would have 80% power to detect only very large differences in FN incidence, eg, 20% to 30%. These findings from this underpowered trial, for patients in whom CSFs are not routinely indicated, are not definitive proof of the efficacy of less frequent CSF dosing, but suggest that alternative dose schedules warrant further study in larger randomized clinical trials to improve efficacy, reduce side effects, and reduce cost.

hours after chemotherapy. A recent combined, retrospective analysis62 compared once-per-chemotherapy-cycle pegfilgrastimwith daily G-CSF (filgrastim) in breast cancer patients undergoing myelosuppressive chemotherapy enrolled in two similarly designed, randomized, double-blind, pivotal trials. On day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle, patients received a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of pegfilgrastim (either 6 mg [n 77] or 100g/kg [n 149]) or daily G-CSF SC injections (5 g/kg/d; n 222). G-CSF injections were continued until either ANC 10 109 /L after the expected nadir or for up to 14 days,whichever occurred first. Each of these trials demonstrated that a single pegfilgrastim injection per cycle is as effective at reducing the duration of severe neutropenia as daily injections of filgrastim. Clinical efficacy data from the two trials were combined for analysis (n 448). The risk of FN (ANC 0.5 109 /L with fever 38.2°C) was significantly lower (11% versus 19%, respectively [RR, 0.56; 95% CI 0.35 to 0.89]) in patients receiving pegfilgrastim than for those receiving filgrastim. A smaller randomized phase-II study in patients with lymphoma treated with etoposide, methylprednisolone, cisplatin, and cytarabine showed equivalent effects of daily administration of G-CSF and one-time administration of pegylated G-CSF.63 In a placebocontrolled phase III study of patients treated for breast cancer, pegylated G-CSF reduced the incidence of FN, hospitalization, and intravenous anti-infective use in patients receiving a docetaxel-based regimen, with an incidence of FN in the control arm of approximately 17% versus 1% in the treatment group (P .001); the incidence of hospitalization was also reduced from 14% in the control group to 1% (P .001).3 The long-term effects of long acting growthfactors are unknown, and the Update Committee expressed concern about potential leukocytosis, late neutropenia after discontinuation of pegylated G-CSF, and the need for long-term safety data. 11. Special Comments on Comparative Clinical Activity of G-CSF and GM-CSF 2005 recommendation No change. No guideline recommendation can be made regarding the equivalency of the two colony-stimulating agents. As in 2000, further trials are recommended to study the comparative clinical activity, toxicity, and cost-effectiveness of G-CSF and GM-CSF. 2005 update In a recent meta-analysis of effectiveness of the colonystimulating factors, the issue of equivalency was not addressed.12 A recent systematic review of the subject concluded that head-tohead trials of G-CSF and GM-CSF demonstrate higher incidence of fever in the GM-CSF arms but data on the comparative ability to reduce chemotherapy-induced complications are lacking.64 A variety of studies continue to investigate differences between the two agents as enhancers of progenitor cells following growth factor administration. Three of these studies compared G-CSF to GM-CSF as single agents in different settings. In a randomized study in 71 breast and ovarian cancer patients treated with carboplatin, etoposide, and melphalan, no difference in hematopoietic recovery was noted between G-CSF or GM-CSF patients, all treated at a dosed of 5 g/kg of the designated agent until completion of stem cell harvest.65 Patients treated with G-CSF had significantly higher T-cell levels in the early and late posttransplant periods and a longer time to progression (61 months for G-CSF-treated patients and 25 months for GM-CSF–treated patients). After a median follow-up of 40 months, the overall survival rate was 75% for patients who received G-CSF and 50% for patients who received GM-CSF. A phase III study in 156 patients with breast cancer, myeloma, or lymphoma concluded that G-CSF was superior to GM-CSF as demonstrated by a faster time to recovery of granulocyte counts (11 versus 14 days, P .0001) and fewer patients with fever (18% versus 52%, P .001).66 The yield of CD 34 cells was also found to be higher for G-CSF. Earlier mobilization of CD 34 cells with G-CSF than with GM-CSF was also demonstrated in another study after high-dose nonmyeloablative therapy with cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin.67 In addition to these studies comparing the single agents, three studies have examined a comparison of G-CSF with a combination of G- and GM-CSF. Utilizing a cross-over design, Koc et al found that G-CSF alone resulted in a mobilization of more CD 34 cells, and that the single agent was effective after failure of the combination to mobilize sufficient progenitors.67 Two other studies using a standard comparative design failed to demonstrate significant differences between the two regimens with respect to granulocyte function,68,69 though in the Recchia et al study,69 patients on the G-CSF– alone arm had lower platelet counts one month after transplantation. 12. Special Comments on Growth Factors As a Treatment for Radiation Injury (Note: This Topic Is New to the Guideline) 2005 recommendation Current recommendations for the management of patients exposed to lethal doses of total body radiotherapy, but not doses high enough to lead to certain death due to injury to other organs, includes the prompt administration of CSF or pegylated G-CSF.70,71 Accidental or intentional (eg, resulting from a terrorist attack or war) total body radiation leads to probable or certain death from bone marrow failure at doses of 3 to 10 Grays (Gy) without supportive care, CSFs, and/or a bone marrow transplant.72-74 Doses below that level are almost always survivable with excellent nursing care, and higher doses are lethal because of injury to other organs such as the gastrointestinal tract. The chance for mortality from any radiation dose rises with combined injuries to the skin, lungs, and so on.75 Hematopoietic growth factors can increase the survival, proliferation, amplification, and differentiation of granulocyte progenitors to produce neutrophils. Although no prospective, randomized trials have been carried out to determine the benefit of hematopoietic growth factors in humans exposed to accidental or intentional radiation injury, they have been utilized in radiation accident victims, and neutrophil recovery appears to have been hastened in 25 of 28 cases (REACT/TS registry). In animal models, prompt administration of hematopoietic growth factors after otherwise lethal total body radiation exposure dramatically increases survival.76-81 13.

recommendations for CSF use when the FN rate was approximately 20% based on clinical impact alone, due to the consensus that reduction in febrile neutropenia itself was an important clinical outcome. Evidence from meta-analysis that CSFs reduced infection-related mortality added to the clinical evidence that use of CSFs was important,5 and further emphasized that the primary decisions were clinical and not economic. In the original CSF guideline and subsequent updates, the use of CSFs could be justified on economic grounds if the rate of FN approached 40%, which was coincidentally the same as the clinical threshold for use of CSFs. With the new clinical threshold of benefit at a FN rate of 20%, and evidence of reduction in infectionrelated mortality, the Update Committee noted that CSFs should be used when indicated for clinical reasons, not economic ones. There was substantial discussion on the role of the Update Committee in limiting access to expensive but important drugs, the current threshold at which CSFs would be cost saving, and the impact of CSFs on health care costs. Doorduijn et al evaluated the efficacy and cost of prophylactic CSF in elderly patients with aggressive lymphoma treated with CHOP chemotherapy.82 While response rates, overall survival, and event-free survival were no different between the CHOP and CHOP-CSF arms, total hospital costs were higher for patients treated with CHOP-CSF (€ 18,356; 95% CI € 15,807 to € 20,906) compared with CHOP alone (€ 12,178; 95% CI € 10,297 to €14,059). Even a low, fixed dose of CSF reduced febrile neutropenia rates. Given the low cost of a hospital day in the Netherlands (a few hundred dollars, not $2,500 as in the US, their conclusions hold for there alone. A better trial would have used enough CSF to allow dose-dense therapy and collected resource utilization to allow other countries to plug in their numbers. Further research into the cost implications of CSF use is warranted. The CSF Update Committee recognized that these are expensive agents. As stated explicitly above, when available, alternative regimens offering equivalent efficacy, but not requiring CSF support, should be utilized. Recently published data by Papaldo et al suggest that, when compared with standard CSF dosing, less frequent CSF dosing schedules may equally prevent neutropenia and chemotherapy dose delay and cause less bone pain and fever.61 This trial was a nonrandomized, observational study; its results should be considered hypothesis generating. As stated by Djulbegovic, because the uncertainty of benefits/harms of alternative treatment options is high and the benefit-harm ratio is unclear, a high level of evidentiary standards, such as a randomized clinical trial comparing standard versus alternative CSF dosing schedules, is needed.83 If proven to be equally efficacious, less frequent CSF dosing could have a significant impact on the cost of treatment. The quality-of-life impact of the CSFs has been less well studied, but the available data show no difference in formal quality of life between placebo and CSF. A recent study directly addressed quality of life in a subgroup of patients using a standardized instrument in patients receiving primary prophylactic CSF versus standard therapy alone. Although underpowered for this outcome, the authors found no difference in global quality of life between the study arms, even though fewer patients were hospitalized in the CSF group.51 Thatcher et al noted that palliation of symptoms and quality of life was the same for small-cell lung cancer patients treated with a conventional every-3-week regimen, or a doseintense every-2-week regimen with CSF.7 Further research into this important area of patient experience is warranted before any conclusions can be drawn.
