Efbemalenograstim alfa to prevent febrile neutropenia in people with solid tumors at high or intermediate risk
Official title: A Multicenter, Exploratory Clinical Study of Efbemalenograstim Alfa-vuxw Injection for Primary/Secondary Prevention in Patients With Solid Tumors at High Risk for Febrile Neutropenia (FN) or Intermediate Risk of Chemotherapy Regimens Associated With Other Risk Factors in FN
Run by Henan Cancer Hospital · NCT07187908 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether giving efbemalenograstim alfa injections can prevent fever with low white blood cells in adults with solid tumors who are receiving high-risk or intermediate-risk chemotherapy with additional risk factors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with histologically confirmed solid tumors, ECOG 0–2, adequate blood counts and organ function, and planned to receive at least two cycles of high-risk chemotherapy or intermediate-risk regimens with additional risk factors are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-solid (hematologic) malignancies, those already receiving approved G-CSF prophylaxis, or those with severe organ dysfunction or out-of-range blood counts are unlikely to benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional study gives efbemalenograstim alfa injections to adults with solid tumors who are at high risk for febrile neutropenia or receiving intermediate-risk chemotherapy with other risk factors. Participants are enrolled into cohorts for primary prevention (no prior G-CSF during the current chemotherapy) or secondary prevention (those who had a significant ANC drop after the first chemotherapy course). Eligible patients must be 18–75 years old, have ECOG 0–2, sufficient blood counts and organ function, and be planned for at least two chemotherapy cycles. The trial is conducted at Henan Cancer Hospital with collaboration from West China Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, efbemalenograstim alfa could reduce febrile neutropenia episodes and help patients stay on their planned chemotherapy schedule.
How similar studies have gone: Other G-CSF drugs such as filgrastim and pegfilgrastim have successfully reduced febrile neutropenia risk, so the general approach is established though this specific agent is newer.
