This is a randomized, multi-center, single dose, open-label and Neulasta controlled phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of F-627 in women with Stage I - III invasive breast cancer receiving chemotherapy treatment.
This is a Phase III, global, two arm, open label clinical study will randomize approximately 400 female subjects (approximately 200 per arm) with Stage I - III invasive breast cancer who are to receive neoadjuvant or adjuvant myelotoxic TC chemotherapy treatment (docetaxel + cyclophosphamide, 75 and 600 mg/m2, respectively). Subjects in this study will be those who are scheduled to undergo at least four 21-day cycles of chemotherapy treatment. Subjects may be scheduled for more than 4 cycles of chemotherapy; however, study participation will be limited to a subject's first 4 cycles. The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of F-627 given as a single fixed dose (20 mg) pre-filled syringe as compared to Neulasta® standard dosing (6 mg) in the first chemotherapy cycle. The primary endpoint will be the duration of grade 4 (severe) neutropenia - the number of days in which the patient has had an absolute neutrophil count (ANC \<0.5 x 10\^9/L) observed in chemotherapy cycle 1. Approximately 24 hours after chemotherapy completion in each cycle (Day 2 of the cycle), subjects will receive one of the following treatments: Arm 1: F-627, 20 mg fixed dose pre-filled syringe, administered on Day 2 of each of 4 chemotherapy cycles. Arm 2: 6 mg fixed dose Neulasta®, administered on Day 2 of each of 4 chemotherapy cycles Randomization will occur in an equal ratio (1:1) using a central randomization system (IWRS) on Day 1 of the study, the day of chemotherapy administration for the first chemotherapy cycle. This study is open-label, however, study drug injections are to be administered separately by qualified study personnel to allow study investigators to remain blinded and perform study assessments without knowledge of treatment assignment.

Duration in Days of Grade 4 Neutropenia in Chemotherapy Cycle 1
Eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects were dosed with either the F 627 20 mg/dose PFS or Neulasta® 6 mg/dose as the study drug in each chemotherapy cycle. Subjects remained in their assigned treatment arm throughout the study. Subjects were dosed subcutaneously (SC) 24 to 28 hours after receiving TC chemotherapy (75 mg/m2 docetaxel + 600 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide) on Day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle that the subject underwent (up to 4 cycles). Grade 4 (severe) neutropenia was defined as ANC \<0.5 × 109/L within the first 12 days of chemotherapy.
Time frame: The first of 4, 21-day chemotherapy cycles (average 3 weeks)
Duration in Days of Use of Intravenous Antibiotic
The duration of use of IV antibiotics was defined as the number of days in which IV antibiotics were administered
Time frame: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)
Duration in Days of Hospitalization
The duration in days of patients been hospitalized for febrile neutropenia (FN) or any infection. Febrile neutropenia is defined as a single oral temperature of ≥38.3°C (101°F) or a temperature of \>38.0°C (100.4°F) sustained for \>1 hour and ANC \<0.5 x 10\^9/L on the same day.
Time frame: across all 4 chemotherapy cycles (average 84 days)
The Number of Participants With Grade 4 Neutropenia for Chemotherapy Cycle 1
The number of participants with grade 4 neutropenia for chemotherapy cycle 1. Grade 4 (severe) neutropenia was defined as ANC \<0.5 × 109/L within the first 12 days of chemotherapy.
Time frame: The first of 4, 21-day chemotherapy cycles (average 3 weeks)
The Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia Considering All Chemotherapy Cycles.
The number of participants with febrile neutropenia, considering all chemotherapy cycles.
