This article presents the results of an investigator-initiated analysis assessing the efficacy and safety of empegfilgrastim (Extimia®) in patients with stage II–III HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC) who received neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) with the TCHP regimen.</p> <p><bold>Aim.</bold> To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of prolonged granulocyte colony-stimulating factor empegfilgrastim in patients with early HER2+ BCG treated with NAT as part of the TCHP regimen.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods.</bold> Data from 105 patients were analyzed. For the primary prevention of febrile neutropenia (FN), all patients received subcutaneous empegfilgrastim at a dose of 7.5 mg once per course. The primary endpoint was the relative dose intensity of the NAT courses, and the secondary endpoints included the complete pathomorphologic regression (pCR) rate, residual cancer burden (RCB), and adverse event rate. Comparison of pCR rates in this study and in the external control group of patients with early HER2+ BC of the clinical stage cT2-cT4/cN0-cN3/cM0, who received NAT in the TCHP regimen with filgrastim for the FN prevention from April 2020 to September 2023 at the Loginov Moscow Clinical Scientific Center. The matching based on the initial characteristics was performed using complete matching with the Mahalanobis distance.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> In the DEFENDOR SPECIAL study, the median age (Q1–Q3) was 53 (43–61) years. The median relative dose intensity (Q1–Q3) was 97.1% (76.8–104.9%). PCR was achieved in 72.5% (76/105) of patients, while RCB-I and RCB-II were observed in 6.6% (7/105) and 15.2% (16/105), respectively. The highest pCR rate was observed in patients with HR-negative/HER2-positive (3+) tumors at 85.3% (29/34). No FN events were reported. Grade III–IV neutropenia occurred in 2.9% (3/105) of patients, grade I–II thrombocytopenia in 34.3% (36/105), and grade III thrombocytopenia in 1.0% (1/105). The probability of achieving pCR with empegfilgrastim was statistically significantly higher compared to filgrastim, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.73 (95% confidence interval 1.04–2.89; <italic>p</italic> = 0.0357).</p> <p><bold>Conclusion.</bold> Primary prevention of FN with empegfilgrastim offers a significant advantage in achieving pCR compared to filgrastim in patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer receiving a neoadjuvant TCHP regimen.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Исследование DEFENDOR SPECIAL (NCT04905329) проведено с целью оценки эффективности и безопасности комбинированной химиотерапии в сочетании с первичной профилактикой нейтропении эмпэгфилграстимом у пациенток с различными злокачественными новообразованиями, имеющих высокий риск рецидива. В статье представлен анализ результатов исследования, инициированного исследователями, по оценке эффективности и безопасности эмпэгфилграстима (Экстимия®) у пациенток с HER2-позитивным раком молочной железы (HER2+ РМЖ)) II–III стадий, получавших неоадъювантную терапию (НАТ) в режиме TCHP.</p> <p><bold>Цель.</bold> Оценка клинической эффективности и безопасности пролонгированного гранулоцитарного колониестимулирующего фактора эмпэгфилграстим у пациенток с ранним HER2+ РМЖ, получавших НАТ в режиме TCHP.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> В анализ включены данные 105 пациенток. Всем женщинам для первичной профилактики фебрильной нейтропении (ФН) вводили подкожно эмпэгфилграстим в дозе 7,5 мг однократно на курс. Первичная конечная точка – относительная дозоинтенсивность проведенных курсов НАТ, вторичные конечные точки включали частоту полной патоморфологической регрессии (pCR), уровень остаточной резидуальной опухоли (RCB) и частоту нежелательных явлений. Проведено сравнение частот pCR в данном исследовании и во внешней контрольной группе пациенток с ранним HER2+ РМЖ клинической стадии cT2–cT4/cN0–cN3/cM0, которые с апреля 2020 по сентябрь 2023 г. получали НАТ в режиме TCHP с профилактикой ФН филграстимом в ГБУЗ «МКНЦ им. А.С. Логинова». Выравнивание по исходным характеристикам проводили методом полного мэтчинга по расстоянию Махаланобиса.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> В исследовании DEFENDOR SPECIAL медиана (Q1–Q3) возраста составила 53 (43–61) года, медиана (Q1–Q3) относительной дозоинтенсивности – 97,1% (76,8–104,9). У 72,5% (76/105) пациенток достигнута pCR, у 7/105 (6,6%) и 16/105 (15,2%) наблюдали RCB-I и RCB-II соответственно. Наиболее высокая частота pCR отмечена у пациенток с гормонорезистентным (HR-) HER2+ (3+) – 85,3% (29/34). Не зарегистрировано ни одного случая ФН. Нейтропению III–IV степени наблюдали у 2,9% (3/105) пациенток, тромбоцитопению I–II степени – у 34,3% (36/105), III степени – у 1,0% (1/105). Шанс достижения pCR при применении эмпэгфилграстима был статистически значимо выше по сравнению с филграстимом: скорректированное отношение шансов составило 1,73 (95% доверительный интервал 1,04–2,89; <italic>p</italic> = 0,0357).</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Первичная профилактика ФН с применением эмпэгфилграстима обеспечивает значимое преимущество в достижении pCR по сравнению с филграстимом у пациенток с ранним HER2+ РМЖ в неоадъювантном режиме TCHP.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>HER2-positive breast cancer</kwd><kwd>relative dose intensity</kwd><kwd>complete pathomorphological tumor regression</kwd><kwd>granulocyte colony-stimulating factor</kwd><kwd>empegfilgrastim</kwd><kwd>filgrastim</kwd><kwd>febrile neutropenia</kwd><kwd>thrombocytopenia</kwd><kwd>residual tumor</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>HER2-позитивный рак молочной железы</kwd><kwd>относительная дозоинтенсивность</kwd><kwd>полная патоморфологическая регрессия опухоли</kwd><kwd>гранулоцитарный колониестимулирующий фактор</kwd><kwd>эмпэгфилграстим</kwd><kwd>филграстим</kwd><kwd>фебрильная нейтропения</kwd><kwd>тромбоцитопения</kwd><kwd>остаточная опухоль</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bray F, Laversanne M, Sung H, et al.
