PEG-rhG-CSF in Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Receiving Chemotherapy to Prevent Neutropenia

Summary

Neutropenia is one of the most frequent adverse effects of chemotherapy, and the main factor to limit the dosage and the continuation of chemotherapy. The PEG-rhG-CSF has increased plasma half-life, and prolonged efficacy in compare with rhG-CSF. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of PEG-rhG-CSF in preventing neutropenia following chemotherapy in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
