  • Therapeutic Class Overview Colony Stimulating Factors
    Therapeutic Class Overview Colony Stimulating Factors Therapeutic Class Overview/Summary: This review will focus on the granulocyte colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs) and granulocyte- macrophage colony stimulating factors (GM-CSFs).1-5 Colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) fall under the naturally occurring glycoprotein cytokines, one of the main groups of immunomodulators.6 In general, these proteins are vital to the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells.6-8 The G- CSFs commercially available in the United States include pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®), filgrastim (Neupogen®), filgrastim-sndz (Zarxio®), and tbo-filgrastim (Granix®). While filgrastim-sndz and tbo- filgrastim are the same recombinant human G-CSF as filgrastim, only filgrastim-sndz is considered a biosimilar drug as it was approved through the biosimilar pathway. At the time tbo-filgrastim was approved, a regulatory pathway for biosimilar drugs had not yet been established in the United States and tbo-filgrastim was filed under its own Biologic License Application.9 Only one GM-CSF is currently available, sargramostim (Leukine). These agents are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for a variety of conditions relating to neutropenia or for the collection of hematopoietic progenitor cells for collection by leukapheresis.1-5 Due to the pathway taken, tbo-filgrastim does not share all of the same indications as filgrastim and these two products are not interchangeable. It is important to note that although filgrastim-sndz is a biosimilar product, and it was approved with all the same indications as filgrastim at the time, filgrastim has since received FDA-approval for an additional indication that filgrastim-sndz does not have, to increase survival in patients with acute exposure to myelosuppressive doses of radiation.1-3A complete list of indications for each agent can be found in Table 1.

  • Pharmacology of Recombinant Or Genetically Engineered Drugs
    Pharmacology Pharmacology of Recombinant or Genetically Engineered Drugs Kamal Kishore, Pawan Krishan1 Departments of Pharmacy, M.J.P. Rohilkhand University, Bareilly-243 006, Uttar Pradesh, 1Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research, Punjabi University, Patiala-147 002, Punjab, India Address for correspondence: Dr. Kamal Kishore; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Recombinant technology or genetic engineering is a modern method used for the synthesis of therapeutic agents. The central theme of recombinant technology is the process of “gene cloning” which consists of the production of a deÞ ned fragment of DNA and its propagation and ampliÞ cation in a suitable host cell. Drugs developed by recombinant technology or genetic engineering are known as biologics, biopharmaceuticals, recombinant DNA expressed products, bioengineered, or genetically engineered drugs. A current list of various products developed by recombinant technology includes erythropoietin, coagulation modulators, enzymes, hormones, interferons, interleukins, granulocyte colony-stimulating factors, anti-rheumatoid drugs, and various other agents like TNF, becaplermin, hepatitis-B vaccine, antibodies etc. This article provides general as well as recent pharmacological information on different aspects of recombinant drugs that may be useful for their better understanding by users and health care professionals.

ABSTRACT The impact of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on hematologic indexes and complications remains existing contradictory evidence in cancer patients after treatment of chemotherapy. Eligible studies up to March 2017 were searched and reviewed from PubMed and Wanfang databases. Totally 1043 cancer patients from 15 studies were included in our research. The result indicated that GM-CSF could significantly improve white blood cells count (SMD = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.71 – 1.61, Z = 5.03, P < 0.00001) and reduce the time to leukopenia recovery (SMD = -0.85, 95% CI: -1.16 – -0.54, Z = 5.38, P < 0.00001) in cancer patients after treatment of chemotherapy.
