Ten dogs were given mitoxantrone at a dose of 5 mg/m2 body surface area intravenously. Recombinant canine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rcG-CSF) was administered subcutaneously daily for 20 days after an infusion of mitoxantrone in five of these dogs to determine the effect of the hematopoietic growth factor on the duration and severity of myelosuppression. The median neutrophil counts dropped below normal (less than 3,000/uL) for 2 days in the dogs that received rcG-CSF, and for 5 days in the dogs that received only mitoxantrone. Four of five dogs not treated with rcG-CSF and none of those receiving rcG-CSF developed serious neutropenia (less than 1,500/uL). The neutrophil counts were significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in the rcG-CSF treated dogs at all time points except before the administration of the colony-stimulating factor, and the sixth day after the mitoxantrone was administered. These findings demonstrate that rcG-CSF is capable of reducing the duration and severity of mitoxantrone-induced myelosuppression.
