Terapijske indikacije:
Accofil is indicated for the reduction in the duration of neutropenia and the incidence of febrile neutropenia in patients treated with established cytotoxic chemotherapy for malignancy (with the exception of chronic myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndromes) and for the reduction in the duration of neutropenia in patients undergoing myeloablative therapy followed by bone marrow transplantation considered to be at increased risk of prolonged severe neutropenia. The safety and efficacy of Accofil are similar in adults and children receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy.Accofil is indicated for the mobilisation of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs).In patients, children or adults with severe congenital, cyclic, or idiopathic neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of ≤ 0.5 x 109/L, and a history of severe or recurrent infections, long term administration of Accofil is indicated to increase neutrophil counts and to reduce the incidence and duration of infection-related events.Accofil is indicated for the treatment of persistent neutropenia (ANC less than or equal to 1.0 x 109/L) in patients with advanced HIV infection, in order to reduce the risk of bacterial infections when other options to manage neutropenia are inappropriate.

WHAT ACCOFIL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ACCOFIL IS
Accofil is a white blood cell growth factor (granulocyte-colony
stimulating factor) and belong to a
group of medicines called cytokines. Growth factors are proteins that
are produced naturally in the
body but they can also be made using biotechnology for use as a
medicine. Accofil works by
encouraging the bone marrow to produce more white blood cells.
A reduction in the number of white blood cells (neutropenia) can occur
for several reasons and makes
your body less able to fight infection. Accofil stimulates the bone
marrow to produce new white cells
quickly.
Accofil can be used:
-
to increase the number of white blood cells after treatment with
chemotherapy to help prevent
infections;
-
to increase the number of white blood cells after a bone marrow
transplant to help prevent
infections;
-
before high-dose chemotherapy to make the bone marrow produce more
stem cells which can
be collected and given back to you after your treatment. These can be
taken from you or from
a donor. The stem cells will then go b
