A Study of Carboplatin/Paclitaxel With Pegfilgrastim Supported by Haematopoietic Progenitor Cell Re-Infusion in Whole Blood

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2004-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to provide dose-finding information regarding the efficacy and kinetics of peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) mobilisation by pegfilgrastim and to determine if carboplatin/paclitaxel can be delivered at a reduced cycle interval when supported by pegfilgrastim-mobilised PBPCs in whole blood.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Amgen
• Treatments: Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel; Carboplatin; Paclitaxel
