- PEG-NUSTIM®
- Is a long acting, PEGylated form of recombinant human granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) analog filgrastim.
- Is a G-CSF which increases the body’s neutrophil level by inducing neutrophil proliferation, differentiation & maturation.
- Increases the phagocytic activity of mature neutrophils.
- Is not indicated for the mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Long-acting G-CSFs (Pegfilgrastim) have been modified to increase molecular size and thus evade clearance by the kidneys. Instead of renal clearance, long-acting G-CSFs are cleared from the body predominantly by circulating neutrophils. As a result, serum levels of long-acting G-CSFs remain high during neutropenia but decrease as neutrophil levels return to normal.
