New treatment option for Myelosuppression
Official title Clinical Study of Thiopegfilgrastim for Preventing Bone Marrow Suppression in Thoracic Tumor Chemoradiotherapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07205536
What this study is testing
What is Mecapegfilgrastim injection?
Mecapegfilgrastim injection is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for myelosuppression.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a prospective observational study designed to observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of mecapegfilgrastim in the treatment of moderate-to-severe myelosuppression associated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The project will provide more robust evidence-based medical support for the use of long-acting granulocyte-stimulating agents in patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
