80The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of pegfilgrastim versus filgrastim, administered after high-dose chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell reinfusion.
Secondary objective is to evaluate the immunological reconstitution after pegfilgrastim and filgrastim.
5 mcg/kg/day sc from day +1 after transplantation to hemopoietic reconstitution
6 mg/day sc at day +1
Filgrastim administration starting 1 day after autologous stem-cell reinfusion up to hemopoietic reconstitution (defined as more than 500/mm3 for 2 days)
Pegfilgrastim administered the day after autologous stem-cell reinfusion
Inclusion Criteria: Patients with hematological neoplasms or solid tumors candidable to high-dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral stem cell reinfusion Adequate organ function Written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: Use of other experimental drugs Active infection
