About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of eflapegrastim in pediatric participants with solid tumors or lymphoma and treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant must have a pathologic/histologic confirmed newly diagnosed/relapsed/recurrent solid tumor or lymphoma without bone marrow involvement.

Participant must be a candidate to receive myelosuppressive chemotherapy, with a febrile neutropenia rate of at least 20% as outlined in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.

Participant has adequate hematological, renal, and hepatic function.

Participant must have an echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) within 14 days of Screening if receiving a cardiotoxic therapy and have a cardiac ejection fraction of >50%.

Disqualifiers

Participant has an uncontrollable infection, has an underlying medical condition, and/or another serious illness that would impair the ability of the participant to receive protocol-specified treatment.

Participant has had previous exposure to filgrastim (within 7 days), pegfilgrastim (within 14 days), or other granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) products in clinical development within 2 weeks prior to the administration of study drug (eflapegrastim)

Participant requires concurrent radiation therapy specifically in Cycle 1.

Participant has had prior bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplant and/or has concurrent bone marrow involvement in their malignancy, including leukemia.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A TEAE is any AE that occurs from the first dose of the study drug until 35 days after the last dose of study drug, or on the day a new/additional chemotherapy regimen, or on the day another granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is administered.

Time frame
From first dose of study drug to 35 days after the last dose of the study drug (Up to approximately 16 months)

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants With Severe Neutropenia in Cycle 1

Severe neutropenia is defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 0.5\*10\^9/liter (L).

Time frame
Cycle 1 (cycle length may vary and can be up to 28 days or more based on the type of chemotherapy selected)
2

Time to Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Recovery of Severe Neutropenia in Cycle 1

Time to ANC recovery of severe neutropenia is defined as the time from chemotherapy administration until the participants ANC increases to ≥1.0\*10\^9/L after the expected nadir.

Time frame
Cycle 1 (cycle length may vary and can be up to 28 days or more based on the type of chemotherapy selected)
3

Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia in Cycle 1

Febrile neutropenia is defined as ANC less than 0.5\*10\^9/L with a single temperature of \>38.3 degree Celsius (°C) or a sustained temperature of ≥38°C for more than 1 hour.

Time frame
Cycle 1 (cycle length may vary and can be up to 28 days or more based on the type of chemotherapy selected)
4

Peak Concentration (Cmax) of Eflapegrastim in Cycle 1

Time frame
Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to Day 9 [Cohorts 1-3] and Day 6 [Cohort 4]) post-dose in Cycle 1 (cycle length may vary and can be up to 28 days or more based on the type of chemotherapy selected)
