1.2
TYPE OF DOSAGE FORM
_Single-use vials _
Neupogen vial of 1.0 ml or 1.6 ml solution for injection.
_Single-use pre-filled syringes _
Neupogen solution for injection in pre-filled syringe of 0.5 ml.
1.3
ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION
Intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection.
1.4
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
_Active ingredient:_
filgrastim (recombinant-methionyl human granulocyte-colony stimulating
factor,
r-metHuG-CSF, from
_E. coli_
K12).
Filgrastim is a highly purified non-glycosylated protein comprising
175 amino acids. Filgrastim is
produced in a laboratory strain of
_Escherichia coli_
bacteria which has been genetically altered by the
addition of a gene for the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor.
_Vials _
1 vial of Neupogen of 1.0 ml injection solution contains 30 MU (= 300

g) of filgrastim.
1 vial of Neupogen of 1.6 ml injection solution contains 48 MU (= 480

g) of filgrastim.
_Pre-filled syringes _
1 pre-filled syringe of Neupogen of 0.5 ml contains 30 MU (= 300

g) of filgrastim.
1 pre-filled syringe of Neupogen of 0.5 ml contains 48 MU (= 480

g) of filgrastim.
Excipients: sodium acetate*, sorbitol, polysorbate 80, water for
injection.
*Sodium acetate is formed by titrating glacial acetic acid with sodium
hydroxide.

CLINICAL
PARTICULARS
2.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATION(S)
_Established cytotoxic chemotherapy _
Neupogen is indicated for 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 and its clinical sequelae in patients
undergoing myeloablative therapy
2
followed by bone marrow transplantation considered to be at increased
risk of prolonged severe
neutropenia (see section 2.5.3 Paediatric Use).
