NCT ID NCT05296317
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 97 women with early-stage breast cancer who were getting strong chemotherapy. They were given one of two types of G-CSF (a drug that helps the body make more white blood cells) to see which one better prevented dangerously low white blood cell counts. The goal was to find the best way to keep patients safe during treatment.
