Brief Title: Self Reported Pain in Women While Undergoing Treatment for Non-metastatic Breast Cancer
Official Title: Self-Reported Pain and Nadir White Blood Cell/Absolute Neutrophil Count in Women 45 and Under Compared to Older Women Receiving Pegfilgrastim (or Biosimilar Substitution) While Undergoing Chemotherapy for Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT04174742
Brief Summary: The overall purpose of this study is to investigate whether younger subjects report pain with pegfilgrastim (or biosimilar substitution) more often and/or at higher levels (greater intensity) than older subjects.This study will be carried out throughout the course of your chemotherapy treatment, which will be prescribed by your study doctor. Participation in this study will not affect your cancer treatment.
Detailed Description: This study will measure pain using ESAS self-reported pain scores over the course of one week following each dose of pegfilgrastim (or biosimilar substitution). At the end of that week, blood will be drawn from each subject to directly measure the WBC/ANC, which can then be compared to self-reported pain and evaluated for any correlation. Finally, subjects will be divided into two groups by age: 45 years or younger, and over 45 to look for any differences in pain or WBC/ANC measurements based on age.
