Study of a medicine to prevent low white blood cells from chemo
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicine (tripegfilgrastim) that helps prevent a serious drop in white blood cells (severe neutropenia) caused by certain chemotherapy. It is for people with advanced pancreatic or bile duct cancer who are starting a new treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 19 years old or older.
- You have pancreatic or bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
- You are about to start a specific chemotherapy combination called nal-IRI/5-FU/LV.
- You have not had a dangerously low white blood cell count (severe neutropenia) during prior chemo.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests whether a medicine called pegfilgrastim can help prevent dangerously low white blood cell counts in women with triple-negative breast cancer receiving a specific chemotherapy combination. Low white blood cells increase infection risk, so this medicine may help patients stay safer during treatment.
This trial tests whether a drug called sacituzumab govitecan can help prevent a low white blood cell count (neutropenia) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It is for patients who have already received some chemotherapy but need a new treatment option.
This trial compares two drugs (Telpegfilgrastim and Filgrastim) to help prevent dangerously low white blood cell counts after chemotherapy in children and young adults with solid tumors. It's for patients who have already had this problem in a previous chemo round.
This trial tests a once-per-cycle injection (Telpegfilgrastim) to help keep your white blood cell count from dropping dangerously low during chemotherapy. It is for people with solid tumors who are at increased risk for neutropenia (low infection-fighting cells).
This trial tests if a study drug (Thiopegfilgrastim) can help prevent a dangerous drop in white blood cells (bone marrow suppression) in people with esophageal or lung cancer who are getting chemo and radiation. It may reduce your risk of infection during treatment.
This trial tests a medication that aims to reduce the risk of dangerously low white blood cell counts (neutropenia) after chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for certain advanced lung or esophageal cancers. It may help prevent infections and other complications, making treatment safer.
