Me capegfilgrastim to help prevent neutropenia in advanced breast cancer patients on chemotherapy
Official title: A Real-World Study of Mecapegfilgrastim for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia in Advanced Breast Cancer
Run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital · NCT07899099 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This real-world registry tests whether mecapegfilgrastim used with chemotherapy helps prevent low white blood cells in adults with advanced breast cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with advanced breast cancer starting a new systemic treatment and expected to live at least 3 months, who and whose clinician choose mecapegfilgrastim as part of routine care.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients unlikely to benefit include those not undergoing a new systemic therapy or with conditions where G-CSF use is inappropriate.

What this trial studies
This prospective observational registry follows patients with advanced breast cancer who are starting a new chemotherapy regimen. The study collects data on neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, adverse events, and chemotherapy delivery to assess the safety and effectiveness of mecapegfilgrastim when used in routine care. Treatment with mecapegfilgrastim is determined by the treating physician as part of standard practice. No prophylactic G-CSF is mandated by the study protocol, and follow-up continues to capture real-world outcomes. Results will reflect how mecapegfilgrastim performs outside of randomized trial conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may have a lower risk of neutropenia and related complications during chemotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous real-world observations in similar patients suggest potential benefits of G-CSF support, but this exact mecapegfilgrastim approach in advanced breast cancer remains observational.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older. * Histologically confirmed advanced breast cancer, defined as locally recurrent disease not suitable for curative treatment or metastatic disease. * First recurrence or metastasis, or documented disease progression during palliative treatment, with a planned new systemic anticancer treatment regimen. * Estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months. * Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Early-stage breast cancer. * Ongoing systemic anticancer treatment without a need to change to a new treatment regimen. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Any condition or other reason that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the participant unsuitable for enrollment.
