Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The incidence of agranulocytosis caused by antithyroid drugs for Graves' disease is relatively low, at 0.2 to 0.5%. However, once it occurs, there is a high risk of severe infections and complications.
For patients with agranulocytosis induced by antithyroid drugs:

If asymptomatic with neutrophil count <100/uL, low-dose G-CSF is administered.

Regardless of symptoms, high-dose G-CSF is recommended if the neutrophil count is <100/uL. This recommendation is based on observational studies and has a low evidence level.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Number of days until all of the following criteria are met: neutrophil count >=1500/uL, body temperature <37.5 degree, CRP <3.0 mg/dL, and procalcitonin <0.5 ng/mL or a reduction of >= 80% from the peak value.

Key secondary outcomes

Days required for neutrophil count normalization (>= 1500/uL).
Days required for infection resolution (disappearance of symptoms, body temperature <37.5 degrees, CRP <3.0 mg/dL, and procalcitonin <0.5 ng/mL or a reduction of >= 80% from the peak value).
Days required for neutrophil count normalization (neutrophil count >=1500/uL) and infection resolution (body temperature <37.5 degrees, CRP <3.0 mg/dL, and procalcitonin <0.5 ng/mL or a reduction of >=80% from the peak value) among patients with baseline neutrophil count of < 100/uL).

Medicine

Interventions/Control_1

Placebo group: subcutaneous injection of saline is administered daily until the neutrophil count reaches >= 1500/uL.
The group also receive intravenous TAZ/PIPC (4.5 g, 4 times daily) from the time of hospitalization.

Interventions/Control_2

Filgrastim group: subcutaneous injection of filgrastim 300 ug is administered daily until the neutrophil count reaches >= 1500/uL.
The group also receive intravenous TAZ/PIPC (4.5 g, 4 times daily) from the time of hospitalization.

Interventions/Control_3

Pegfilgrastim group: pegfilgrastim is administered only on the first day, followed by daily subcutaneous injections of placebo thereafter until the neutrophil count reaches >= 1500/uL.
The group also receive intravenous TAZ/PIPC (4.5 g, 4 times daily) from the time of hospitalization
