with an intent for cure or for durable complete remission.
Eligibility criteria:
 Neutropenic fever was not associated with life-threatening
infection.
 There were no other dose-limiting toxicities.
 Age 75 or less; performance status (WHO) 0-2

Abstract
PURPOSE:
Pegfilgrastim-induced bone pain is a significant clinical problem that may result in discontinuation of pegfilgrastim and lead to less
effective chemotherapy dosing. Interventions for pegfilgrastim-induced bone pain are needed.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
The University of Rochester Cancer Center Clinical Community Oncology Program Research Base randomly assigned 510 patients at 17
sites to receive either naproxen (500 mg two times per day) or placebo on the day of pegfilgrastim administration, continuing for 5 to 8
days after pegfilgrastim. Patients recorded pain severity (using a scale of 0 to 10) and duration in daily diaries. The primary outcome
measure was the area under the curve (AUC) for pain for days 1 through 5. Secondary outcome measures included the identification of
risk factors for the development of pain and response to naproxen.
RESULTS:
Patients' mean age was 55.6 years and 86% were female. Sixty-eight percent of patients had breast cancer and 10% had lung cancer.
Pain reached its peak at 3 days for both groups. The mean AUC for pain was 7.71 for the placebo group and 6.04 for the naproxen group
(P = .037). Naproxen reduced maximum pain from 3.40 to 2.59 (P = .005). Naproxen also reduced overall pain incidence from 71.3% to
61.1% (P = .020) and duration from 2.40 to 1.92 days (P = .009). The reduction in severe pain (> 5 on a scale of 1 to 10) from 27.0% to
19.2% was also significant (P = .048). Risk factors could not be identified to predict incidence, severity, or ability to prevent pegfilgrastiminduced bone pain.
CONCLUSION:
Our phase III randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial demonstrated that naproxen at a dose of 500 mg twice per day is effective in
reducing the incidence and severity of pegfilgrastim-induced bone pain.
Adverse Events – Transient elevations in LDH, uric
acid, and alkaline phosphatase (and in WBC/ANC
counts)
 In LDH, and uric acid: attributed to the proliferative effects of
G-CSF on neutrophil precursors in the bone marrow, with
increased cell turnover
 In alkaline phosphatase: potentially secondary effects on
bone.
 In WBC & ANC counts……
GCSF and lung toxicity
Pulmonary complications of GCSF are very rare and
include cough, dyspnea, and interstitial or alveolar
pulmonary edema. Few cases of acute respiratory
distress syndrome have been reported.

A possible interaction between
bleomycin and GCSF
Martin WG et al. J Clin Oncol 23: 7614-20, 2005 :
GCSF was associated with increased lung toxicity in Hodgkin`s
disease patients treated with bleomycin containing drug
combinations).
(GCSF may enhance bleomycin-induced lung toxicity by a
mechanism that probably involved neutrophils).
On the other hand:
Saxman SB et al. Chest 111: 657-60, 1997 :
There is no increase in pulmonary toxicity with coadministration of G-CSF and bleomycin compared to
bleomycin alone in pts with advanced germ cell tumors.
GCSF: effect on spleen
 Spleen enlargement (Picardi M et al. Haematologica 88: 794, 2003),
 Splenic rupture (Falzetti F et al. Lancet 353: 555, 1999;
Dincer AP et al. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 26: 761, 2004).
Allergic reactions; Cutaneous vasculitis (Amgen
March 2013)
GCSF & leukemia/MDSA meta- analysis
Lyman GH et al. J Clin Oncol 28: 2914-24, 2010 (meta-analysis):
“Delivered chemotherapy dose-intensity and risk of AML/MDS are
increased but all-cause mortality is decreased in patients receiving
chemotherapy with G-CSF support. Greater reductions in mortality
were observed with greater chemotherapy dose-intensity”.
“…. It remains impossible to distinguish any leukemia risk that
may be associated with G-CSF from the recognized dosedependent leukemogenic effects of many myelosuppressive
chemotherapeutic agents. The greater risk of AML/MDS observed
may be primarily related to the consistently increased dose of
chemotherapeutic agents with knownleukemogenic potential.
However, an enhanced leukemogenic effect of chemotherapy drugs
by G-CSF cannot be ruled in or out based on this analysis.
ESMO Recommendations: Crawford J et al. Ann Oncol 21 (suppl 5): v
248 v251,2010: ”There is a possible risk of subsequent acute myeloid
leukaemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in women receiving
adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and hGFs. However, this is
confounded by the higher doses of chemotherapy received by patients
receiving hGFs compared with those receiving standard dose reductions.
Long-term follow-up of dose-dense adjuvant chemotherapy where total dose
is the same has not demonstrated any difference in leukaemic risk. If an
increased risk is confirmed in some settings, the absolute risk is low (1.8%
compared with 0.7% within 48 months of breast cancer diagnosis) and,
therefore, the benefits of hGFs still outweigh the risk.

judgement with respect to to particular patients or special
clinical situations….”(ASCO guidelines-2006)

Bunn PA Jr ET AL. J Clin Oncol. 1995 Jul;13(7):1632-41. Chemoradiotherapy with or without granulocytemacrophage colony-stimulating factor in the treatment of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer: a
prospective phase III randomized study of the Southwest Oncology Group.
This phase III randomized trial was designed to determine if granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
(GM-CSF) reduces the hematologic toxicity and morbidity induced by chemoradiotherapy in limited-stage smallcell lung cancer (SCLC)………
RESULTS:
There was a statistically significant increase in the frequency and duration of life-threatening thrombocytopenia (P
< .001) in patients randomized to GM-CSF. GM-CSF patients had significantly more toxic deaths (P < .01), more
nonhematologic toxicities, more days in hospital, a higher incidence of intravenous (IV) antibiotic usage, and more
transfusions. Patients randomized to GM-CSF had higher WBC and neutrophil nadirs (P < .01), but no significant
difference in the frequency of grade 4 leukopenia or neutropenia. Patients randomized to GM-CSF had a lower
complete response rate (36% v 44%), but the differences were not significant (P = .29). There were no significant
differences in survival (median, 14 months on GM-CSF and 17 months on no GM-CSF; P = .15).
CONCLUSION:
GM-CSF, as delivered in this study, should not be included with concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatment
programs for limited-stage SCLC. The simultaneous use of hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) and
chemoradiotherapy should be performed only in experimental settings. Chemoradiotherapy programs with cisplatin
and etoposide ([VP-16] PE) and simultaneous chest RT produce grade 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in a
small-enough proportion of patients that prophylactic hematopoietic growth factors are clinically unnecessary.

Abstract
There is paucity of data in the literature regarding the safety of combining granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) during chemo-radiotherapy (CTRT) in lung cancer patients. The ASCO 2006 recommendations advise
against use of CSFs during concomitant mediastinal CTRT. The only randomised study evaluating CSFs in this
context showed significant increase in grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia and an excess of pulmonary toxic deaths. In
the context of a phase II trial, 38 patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer were randomised to receive
once-daily (66 Gy in 33 fractions) or twice-daily (45 Gy in 30 fractions) radiotherapy. Radiotherapy (RT) was given
concurrently with cisplatin and etoposide. G-CSF was given as primary or secondary prophylaxis or as a
therapeutic measure during an episode of febrile neutropenia according to local protocols. Common terminology
criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v3.0 was used to record toxicity. Thirteen (34%) of 38 patients received GCSF concurrently with RT. With a median follow-up of 16.9 months, there were no treatment related deaths
reported. Seven (54%) patients experienced grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia and 5 (38%) experienced grade 3/4
anaemia. Thirty-one percent required platelet transfusions. No episodes of bleeding were observed. There were
no cases of grade 3/4 acute pneumonitis. These data suggests that with modern three-dimensional (3D) conformal
RT, G-CSF administration concurrently with CTRT does not result in the increase risk of pulmonary toxicity, but
does increase the risk of thrombocytopenia. Whether the risks of thrombocytopenia are outweighed by the
outcome of timely early concurrent CTRT is being evaluated prospectively in the ongoing phase III CONVERT trial
(NCT00433563) in which G-CSF is permitted during thoracic irradiation.
