Pegfilgrastim, sold under the brand name Neulasta among others, is a PEGylated form of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) analog filgrastim.[22] It serves to stimulate the production of white blood cells (neutrophils).[22][24] Pegfilgrastim was developed by Amgen.[25]

Pegfilgrastim treatment can be used to stimulate bone marrow to produce more neutrophils to fight infection in patients undergoing chemotherapy.[26]

Pegfilgrastim has a human half-life of 15 to 80 hours, much longer than the parent filgrastim (3–4 hours).[27][26]

Pegfilgrastim was approved for medical use in the United States in January 2002, in the European Union in August 2002, and in Australia in September 2002.[25][23][28][29][30] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[31]

Medical uses

Pegfilgrastim is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in people with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia; and to increase survival in people acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation (hematopoietic subsyndrome of acute radiation syndrome).[22][32][33]

Society and culture

In January 2025, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use CHMP of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Dyrupeg, intended to shorten the duration of neutropenia and help prevent febrile neutropenia after cytotoxic chemotherapy.[6] The applicant for this medicinal product is CuraTeQ Biologics s.r.o.[6] Dyrupeg is a biosimilar medicinal product that is highly similar to the reference product Neulasta, which was authorized in the EU in August 2002.[6] Dyrupeg was authorized for medical use in the European Union in March 2025.[6][34]

In June 2025, the CHMP adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Vivlipeg, intended to reduce the duration of neutropenia and the incidence of febrile neutropenia after cytotoxic chemotherapy.[15] The applicant for this medicinal product is Biosimilar Collaborations Ireland Limited.[15] Vivlipeg is a biosimilar medicinal product that is highly similar to Neulasta.[15] Vivlipeg was authorized for medical use in the European Union in August 2025.[15][35]
