Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Area under the curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) for serum Pegfilgrastim (PEG-GCSF)

  Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Pre-dose (-15 min) and post-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2 hours or early discontinuation.

• Area under the curve from time 0 to the last time point (AUC0-t) for serum Pegfilgrastim (PEG-GCSF)

  AUC0-t will be used as a primary parameter only if AUC0-∞ cannot be calculated for all subjects in the pharmacokinetic population.

  Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Pre-dose (-15 min) and post-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2 hours or early discontinuation.

• Pharmacodynamics: Maximum change from baseline in absolute neutrophil count (ANC); ANC_Cmax

  Screening, Day -1, Treatment Periods 1 & 2: Pre-dose (-60 min, -30 min, 0 min), Post dose (12 hr, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Maximum concentration (Cmax) for serum Pegfilgrastim (PEG-GCSF)

  Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Pre-dose (-15 min) and post-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2 hours or early discontinuation.

• Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) for serum Pegfilgrastim (PEG-GCSF)

  Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Pre-dose (-15 min) and post-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2 hours or early discontinuation.

• Terminal elimination rate constant (λz) for serum Pegfilgrastim (PEG-GCSF)

  Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Pre-dose (-15 min) and post-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2 hours or early discontinuation.

• Half-life (T½) for serum Pegfilgrastim (PEG-GCSF)

  Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Pre-dose (-15 min) and post-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2 hours or early discontinuation.

• Area under the curve above baseline of ANC [ANC_AUC(0-tlast)]

  Screening, Day -1, Treatment Periods 1 & 2: Pre-dose (-60 min, -30 min, 0 min), Post dose (12 hr, 24±2, 48±2, 72±2, 96±2, 120±2, 144±2, 168±2, 192±2, 216±2, 240±2, 264±2, 288±2)
