Data about biosimilar Peg-filgrastim (bioPEG) in autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) are still scarce. The aim of this study has been to assess efficacy and safety of bioPEG among lymphoma and myeloma patients undergoing ASCT, comparing these data with historical controls receiving other G-CSFs. Furthermore, an economic evaluation has been included to estimate the savings by using bioPEG.

Insufficient clearance of these structures promotes genomic instability and DNA damage, which ultimately contribute to the establishment of cancer phenotypes. Paraspeckle assemblies participate in R-loop resolution and preserve genome stability, however, the main determinants of this mechanism are still unknown.

Materials And Methods: Assessments included neurological examination and electroneurography, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), reduced version of Total Neuropathic Score (TNSr), pain evaluation, functional autonomy scales, self-perceived symptoms and quality of life questionnaires at baseline and after 6 months.
Results: No patients were symptomatic at baseline, despite neurophysiological data and TNSr evidence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in 11 of them.
