Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Grade 3/4 Febrile Neutropenia Across the First 4 Cycles of Chemotherapy
Approximately 2 months duration (Daily for 4 cycles of treatment; 2 weeks per cycle)

Grade 3/4 febrile neutropenia (FN) is defined as: • A temperature ≥ 38.0°C (≥ 100.4°F) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1.0 × 10\^9/L, where ANC was measured the same day or within ± 1 calendar day of a temperature ≥ 38.0°C (≥ 100.4°F), or • An ANC \< 1.0 × 10\^9/L in combination with: - documented sepsis or infection, OR - neutropenia-related hospitalization where ANC was measured the same day or within ± 1 calendar day. Participants monitored their oral temperatures and maintained diaries to record their temperature twice per day: once in the morning and once in the evening, as well as whenever they suspect they had fever throughout the first 4 cycles of chemotherapy treatment.
