Objective To evaluate the safety and tolerance of pegfilgrastin (PEG-G-CSF) in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods Thirty healthy volunteers were randomly divided into five single-dose groups to receive PEG-G-CSF 15, 30, 50, 60 or 75μg/kg by hypodermic injection. The safety profile and tolerability were evaluated by observing symptoms, vital signs, laboratory tests and electro cardiogram. Results No serious adverse event was reported for any volunteer. Transient dizziness occurred in one person in the 50 μg/kg dose group, and mild dizziness and ostalgia was found in all six people in the 75μg/kg dose group, of whom one experienced transient fever and two experienced mild diarrhea. No clinically significant changes in laboratory tests and electrocardiogram were found during the follow-up period. Conclusions The maximum tolerated dose of PEG-G-CSF injection in Chinese healthy volunteers is 60 μg/kg. Doses below 60μg/kg can be well tolerated. The recommended dose for phase II clinical trials is 60 μg/kgone, one dose for each cycle of chemotherapy.
