This study is researching how well a new medication called Telpegfilgrastim works compared to an existing drug, Filgrastim, in preventing a condition called neutropenia. Neutropenia is when there are fewer white blood cells than normal, making it harder for the body to fight infections. It often happens in children and young people aged 6-24 who are receiving strong chemotherapy for solid tumors. The study aims to see if Telpegfilgrastim, which stays active in the body longer, can reduce the risk of neutropenia more effectively than Filgrastim. This research could lead to better ways to support young patients undergoing intense cancer treatment by optimizing their care and reducing infection risks. Participants in the study will be divided into two groups. One group will receive Telpegfilgrastim as a single injection under the skin one day after chemotherapy, while the other group will receive daily injections of Filgrastim until their white blood cell count returns to normal. Throughout the study, doctors will monitor the participants' white blood cell levels and check for any side effects like fever or bone pain. The study will also explore how these medications affect bone health. By comparing the two drugs, researchers hope to find the most effective and safest option for preventing infections in young cancer patients.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant solid tumor requiring high-intensity chemotherapy, with ≥2 remaining chemotherapy cycles, and either: * Previous febrile neutropenia(FN) or dose-limiting neutropenia in the prior chemotherapy cycle without prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF); * Previous FN or dose-limiting neutropenia in the prior chemotherapy cycle despite prophylactic G-CSF. 2. Age ≥6 to ≤24 years. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status ≤1. 4. Normal bone marrow hematopoietic function: hemoglobin ≥75 g/L, white blood cell count ≥3.0×10\^9/L, platelets ≥80×10\^9/L, and neutrophils ≥1.5×10\^9/L. 5. Anticipated survival ≥8 months. 6. Willing to participate, with written informed consent signed by the patient or legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Bone marrow involvement at screening. 2. Uncontrolled localized or systemic infection. 3. Known hypersensitivity to Telpegfilgrastim, recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(rhG-CSF), or other pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor(PEG-rhG-CSF) agents. 4. Concurrent participation in any other investigational drug or device trial. 5. Severe organ dysfunction: total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase(ALT), or aspartate transaminase(AST) \>2.5 × upper limit of normal(ULN) (or \>5 × ULN in patients with liver metastases), serum creatinine \>5 × ULN. 6. Severe psychiatric disorders affecting informed consent provision or adverse event assessment. 7. Any condition deemed by the investigator to compromise patient safety or interfere with study outcomes, including risks from the investigational product or confounding adverse event evaluation.
