  • 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.

  • Sargramostim (Leukine®)
    Policy Medical Policy Manual Approved Revision: Do Not Implement until 8/31/21 Sargramostim (Leukine®) NDC CODE(S) 71837-5843-XX LEUKINE 250MCG Solution Reconstituted (PARTNER THERAPEUTICS) DESCRIPTION Sargramostim is a recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) produced by recombinant DNA technology in a yeast (S. cerevisiae) expression system. Like endogenous GM-CSF, rGM-CSF is a hematopoietic growth factor which stimulates proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in the granulocyte-macrophage pathways which include neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages and myeloid-derived dendritic cells. It is also capable of activating mature granulocytes and macrophages. Various cellular responses such as division, maturation and activation are induced by GM-CSF binding to specific receptors expressed on the cell surface of target cells. POLICY Sargramostim for the treatment of the following is considered medically necessary: o Acute myelogenous leukemia following induction or consolidation chemotherapy o Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) failure or Engraftment Delay o Individuals acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation (Hematopoietic Subsyndrome of Acute Radiation Syndrome [H-ARS]) o Myeloid reconstitution after autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) o Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell (PBPC) mobilization and transplant Sargramostim for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia is considered medically necessary if the medical appropriateness

They are present in all major organ systems of the body and are uniquely reserved there during development for tissue maintenance during homeostasis, injury, and infection. They do so by promptly modulating the dynamics of proliferation, differentiation, survival, and migration. Any imbalance in these processes may result in regeneration failure or developing cancer. Hence, the dynamics of these various behaviors of ASCs need to always be precisely controlled. Several genetic and epigenetic factors have been demonstrated to be involved in tightly regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and self-renewal of ASCs. Understanding these mechanisms is of great importance, given the role of stem cells in regenerative medicine. Investigations on various animal models have played a significant part in enriching our knowledge and giving In Vivo in-sight into such ASCs regulatory mechanisms. In this review, we have discussed the recent In Vivo studies demonstrating the role of various genetic factors in regulating dynamics of different ASCs viz.

  • Regenerative Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Approaches
    brain sciences Review Neurodegenerative Diseases: Regenerative Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Approaches Rashad Hussain 1,*, Hira Zubair 2, Sarah Pursell 1 and Muhammad Shahab 2,* 1 Center for Translational Neuromedicine, University of Rochester, NY 14642, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Animal Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad 45320, Pakistan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.H.); [email protected] (M.S.); Tel.: +1-585-276-6390 (R.H.); +92-51-9064-3014 (M.S.) Received: 13 July 2018; Accepted: 12 September 2018; Published: 15 September 2018 Abstract: Regeneration refers to regrowth of tissue in the central nervous system. It includes generation of new neurons, glia, myelin, and synapses, as well as the regaining of essential functions: sensory, motor, emotional and cognitive abilities. Unfortunately, regeneration within the nervous system is very slow compared to other body systems. This relative slowness is attributed to increased vulnerability to irreversible cellular insults and the loss of function due to the very long lifespan of neurons, the stretch of cells and cytoplasm over several dozens of inches throughout the body, insufficiency of the tissue-level waste removal system, and minimal neural cell proliferation/self-renewal capacity. In this context, the current review summarized the most common features of major neurodegenerative disorders; their causes and consequences and proposed novel therapeutic approaches. Keywords: neuroregeneration; mechanisms; therapeutics; neurogenesis; intra-cellular signaling 1. Introduction Regeneration processes within the nervous system are referred to as neuroregeneration. It includes, but is not limited to, the generation of new neurons, axons, glia, and synapses. It was not considered possible until a couple of decades ago, when the discovery of neural precursor cells in the sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) and other regions shattered the dogma [1–4].

  • STEMGEN® (Ancestim) Product Information Page 1 of 12
    STEMGEN® (ancestim) Product Information Page 1 of 12 NAME OF THE DRUG Ancestim is a human stem cell factor (SCF), produced by recombinant DNA technology. STEMGEN® is the Amgen Inc. trademark for ancestim (recombinant methionyl human stem cell factor, r-metHuSCF). DESCRIPTION STEMGEN® is a 166 amino acid protein produced by Escherichia coli (E coli) bacteria into which a gene has been inserted for soluble human stem cell factor. STEMGEN® has a monomeric molecular weight of approximately 18,500 daltons and normally exists as a noncovalently associated dimer. The protein has an amino acid sequence that is identical to the natural sequence predicted from human DNA sequence analysis, except for the addition of an N-terminal methionine retained after expression in E coli. Because STEMGEN® is produced in E coli, the product is nonglycosylated. STEMGEN® is a sterile, white, preservative-free, lyophilised powder for reconstitution and administration as a subcutaneous (SC) injection. Each single-use vial of STEMGEN® contains 1.875 mg of ancestim at a specific activity of 0.84 to 1.8 x 106 U/mg (as measured by a cell mitogenesis assay). Vials of STEMGEN® are reconstituted with 1.2 mL of sterile Water for Injection to yield an ancestim concentration of 1500 µg/mL. Reconstituted STEMGEN® is a sterile aqueous solution containing 4.5% mannitol and 0.5% sucrose buffered at pH 6.0 with 5 mM glutamic acid and 10 mM histidine. PHARMACOLOGY Pharmacokinetics General The pharmacokinetics of STEMGEN® are dose linear in the range of 5 to 30 µg/kg in both healthy volunteers and cancer patients.
