Pegfilgrastim is a PEGylated form of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) analog filgrastim. It serves to stimulate the level of white blood cells (neutrophils).[2]


Pegfilgrastim treatment can be used to stimulate bone marrow to produce more neutrophils to fight infection in patients undergoing chemotherapy.[3]


Pegfilgrastim has a human half-life of 15 to 80 hours, much longer than the parent filgrastim (3–4 hours).[4][3]


In the United States as of 2015 the branded form costs between $5,327 and $8,191 a dose.[5]


As of 9-22-15 a 6 MG/0.6ML dose costs $15,016.29 in the United States.



Biosimilars[edit]


In July 2016 the US FDA rejected a biosimilar application from Sandoz.[6]


In 2016 Coherus BioSciences is running clinical studies on its own pegfilgrastim biosimilar CHS-1701.[6]
