Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Comparative Efficacy and Safety Study of MYL-1401H and Neulasta (Pegfilgrastim) in Stage II/III Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant or Adjuvant Chemotherapy.

Full description

After successful screening, eligible patients will be randomly allocated to one of the two study arms, either receiving MYL-1401H or Neulasta.

Randomization is 2:1 to MYL-1401H or Neulasta, respectively.

Subjects will receive first of six cycles of background therapy (Docetaxel, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide [TAC]) on day 1. Treatment with study drug (either MYL-1401H or Neulasta) is scheduled on Day 2 of each cycle, at least 24 hours after chemotherapy administration.

Duration of each cycle is 3 weeks.

Follow-up visit is scheduled 24 weeks after the first administration of study drug.
