ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
GENERAL
STEMGEN
®
(ancestim) is recombinant-methionyl human stem cell factor
(r-metHuSCF),
a homologue of endogenous human stem cell factor (SCF), produced by
recombinant
DNA technology.
1
Hematopoietic growth factors, including SCF, are glycoproteins
which act on hematopoietic cells by binding to specific cell surface
receptors and
stimulating
proliferation,
differentiation,
commitment,
and/or
functional
activation.
Receptors for SCF are found on a range of early to more mature
hematopoietic
progenitor cells, as well as mast cells, melanocytes, and germ cells.
Endogenous SCF is a multilineage hematopoietic growth factor which is
produced by
bone marrow fibroblasts.

In humans, the serum concentration of soluble SCF
averages 3.3 ± 1.1 ng/mL.

PHARMACOLOGIC EFFECTS OF STEMGEN
® (ANCESTIM) IN COMBINATION WITH
NEUPOGEN
® (FILGRASTIM)
In
phase
1/2
studies
involving
367
patients
with
breast
cancer,
non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, and ovarian cancer, STEMGEN
®
administration over a dose range of 5 to 25
mcg/kg/day in combination with a fixed dose of NEUPOGEN
®
resulted in a dose-
dependent increase in circulating peripheral blood progenitor cells
(PBPC) compared to
NEUPOGEN
®
alone.

The PBPCs included CD34
+
cells, granulocyte macrophage
colony-forming units (CFU-GM), and erythroid burst-forming units
(BFU-E). For pat
