RATIONALE: Antibiotics may decrease the side effects of neutropenia and fever caused by chemotherapy. Colony-stimulating factors such as G-CSF may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether antibiotic therapy plus G-CSF is more effective than antibiotic therapy alone for treating side effects caused by chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy with or without G-CSF in treating children who have neutropenia and fever that are caused by chemotherapy.

Condition	Treatment or Intervention	Phase
unspecified childhood solid tumor, protocol specific fever, sweats, and hot flashes Neutropenia	Drug: filgrastim  Procedure: complications of therapy assessment/management  Procedure: hematologic toxicity attenuation  Procedure: supportive care/therapy	Phase III

Further Study Details: 

OBJECTIVES:

• Determine whether filgrastim (G-CSF) used in addition to standard antibiotic therapy accelerates time to resolution of febrile neutropenia in children receiving chemotherapy.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

• Arm I: Patients receive standard antibiotic therapy.
• Arm II: Patients receive treatment as in arm I. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV once a day until at least 2 consecutive afebrile days have passed and absolute neutrophil count is at least 500/mm3. Patients are followed for 3 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 200 patients (100 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Ages Eligible for Study:  up to  21 Years,  Genders Eligible for Study:  Both
