title: [Therapeutic Effects on Chemotherapy-Induced Granulocytopenia in Hematologic Malignacies, a Comparison Between Lishengsu and Filgrastim]
abstract: A multi-center, open controlled study was performed to observe the effects of Lishengsu, a rhG-CSF preparation manufactured by Beijing Shuanglu Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. on chemotherapy-induced granulocytopenia in patients with hematological malignancies. The results showed the total response rates were similar between Lishengsu- and Filgrastim-treated groups (98.8% vs 100%), recovery of peripheral ANC and WBC was also similar between the two groups, with the peaks appeared both at the 12th day after rhG-CSF treatment. No differences were observed in the duration for ANC to recover to normal level between Lishengsu- and Filgrastim-treated groups (7 and 8 days respectively). Our results indicated Lishengsu is as effective as Filgrastim in accelerating the recovery of chemotherapy-induced granulocytopenia.
