What is Nivestym?

Nivestym is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Pfizer Inc. It is a leukocyte (white blood cell) growth factor indicated to:

• Decrease the incidence of infection‚ as seen by febrile neutropenia‚ in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a significant incidence of severe neutropenia with fever
• Reduce the time to neutrophil recovery and duration of fever, following induction or consolidation chemotherapy treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
• Reduce duration of neutropenia and neutropenia-related clinical sequelae‚ e.g.‚ febrile neutropenia, in patients with non-myeloid malignancies undergoing myeloablative chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplantation (BMT)
• Mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells into the peripheral blood for collection by leukapheresis
• Reduce incidence and duration of sequelae of severe neutropenia (e.g.‚ fever‚ infections‚ oropharyngeal ulcers) in symptomatic patients with congenital neutropenia‚ cyclic neutropenia‚ or idiopathic neutropenia

Nivestym (filgrastim-aafi) is biosimilar to Neupogen (filgrastim). This means that Nivestym is approved based on data showing it is highly similar to an FDA-approved biological product, known as a reference product, (in this case Neupogen) and that there are no clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar product and the reference product. Biosimilarity of Nivestym has been shown for the condition of use.

The recommended starting dose for:

• Patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy or induction and/or consolidation chemotherapy for AML is 5 mcg/kg/day by subcutaneous injection, short intravenous infusion (15 to 30 minutes), or continuous intravenous infusion
• Patients with cancer undergoing bone marrow transplantation – 10 mcg/kg/day given as an intravenous infusion no longer than 24 hours
• Patients undergoing peripheral blood progenitor cell collection and therapy – 10 mcg/kg/day subcutaneous injection. Administer for at least 4 days before the first leukapheresis procedure and continue until the last leukapheresis
