E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of a single dose of SPI-2012 with pegfilgrastim in patients with early-stage breast cancer receiving docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC), as measured by the Duration of Severe Neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle 1 |
|

Key Secondary Objectives:
To compare SPI-2012 with pegfilgrastim in:
1. Time to Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Recovery in Cycle 1
2. Depth of ANC Nadir, defined as the patient's lowest ANC in Cycle 1
3. Incidence of Febrile Neutropenia (FN) in patients during Cycle 1 Additional Secondary Objectives:
To compare SPI-2012 with pegfilgrastim in:
1. Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycles 2, 3, and 4
2. Incidence of Neutropenic Complications, including anti-infective use and hospitalizations in patients during Cycle 1
3. Incidence of FN in Cycles 2, 3, and 4
4. Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) of TC in Cycles 1 to 4

7. Patient must be willing to practice two forms of contraception, one of which must be a barrier method, from study entry through 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration or 30 days after date of patient early discontinuation.
8. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 30 days prior to randomization. Females who are postmenopausal for at least 1 year (defined as more than 12 months since last menses) or are surgically sterilized do not require this test. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patient with an active concurrent malignancy (except non melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) or life-threatening disease. If there is a history of prior malignancies or contralateral breast cancer, the patient must be disease free for at least 5 years.
2. Patient with known sensitivity or previous reaction to Escherichia coli (E. coli) derived products (eg, filgrastim, recombinant insulin [Humulin®], L- sparaginase, somatropin [Humatrop®] growth hormone, recombinant interferon alfa-2b [Intron® A]), or any of the products to be administered during study participation.
3. Patient with concurrent adjuvant cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy other than the trialspecified therapies).
4. Patient has locally recurrent/metastatic breast cancer.
5. Patient with previous exposure to filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, or other GCSF products in clinical development within 12 months prior to the administration of study drug (SPI-2012 or pegfilgrastim).
6. Patient with an active infection or receiving anti-infectives, an underlying medical condition, or another serious illness that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol-specified treatment.
7. Patient has used any investigational drugs, biologics, or devices within 30 days prior to study treatment or plans to use any of these during the course of the study.
8. Patient has had prior bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
9. Patient has had prior radiation therapy within 30 days prior to enrollment.
10. Patient has had major surgery within 30 days prior to enrollment. Patients who have breast surgery related to the breast cancer diagnosis or have had a port-a-cath placement may be enrolled prior to 30 days once they have fully recovered from the procedure.
11. Patient is pregnant or breast-feeding. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Comparison of the Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycle 1 between
the SPI-2012 Treatment Arm and the Pegfilgrastim Treatment Arm. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Duration of Severe Neutropenia is defined as the number of days of severe neutropenia (ANC <0.5×109/L) from the first occurrence of an ANC below the threshold. The assessment of ANC will be performed on Day 1 and Days 4 to 15 in Cycle 1. The endpoint will be measured in all patients in an Intent-to-Treat Population (ITT Population). For patients who do not meet severe neutropenia criteria, the endpoint measurement will be defined as DSN=0. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key Secondary Endpoints:
To compare SPI-2012 with pegfilgrastim in:
1. Time to ANC Recovery in Cycle 1
2. Depth of ANC Nadir, defined as the patient's lowest ANC in Cycle 1
3. Incidence of FN in patients during Cycle 1
The analyses of the Key Secondary Endpoints will employ a hierarchical, closed testing procedure.
Additional Secondary Endpoints:
To compare SPI-2012 with pegfilgrastim in:
1. Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycles 2, 3, and 4
2. Incidence of Neutropenic Complications, including use of antiinfectives and hospitalizations, in patients during Cycle 1
3. Incidences of FN in Cycles 2, 3, and 4
4. RDI of TC in Cycles 1 to 4
