General information

Short Summary
The product developed for CIN treatment as 3rd generation filgrastim which indicates superior properties compared to the existed reference/biosimilar products in efficacy, safety, and immunomodulation.
Full Description
The innovative design of product set a new class in filgrastim family by their structural and functional differences. Although the mechanism of action and targeted indication demonstrate similarity to prior generations of filgrastim, this product has signs to be defined as biobetter based on non-clinical and clinical findings obtained so far.
Advantages and Innovations
The innovation includes superiority in its structure, function, and production. In structural perspective, the product is designed with hyFc platform which adds a novel value in all filgrastim family therapeutics and thus, referred as 3rd generation. Former generations of G-CSF drugs, Neupogen ® and Neulasta ®, are compared to the product simultaneously in preclinical and clinical trials of I and II. Renal clearance of G-CSF is blocked and Fc of the product could bind to FcRn (neonatal Fc receptor) of endothelial cells in the human body, thereby enabling the recycle of hyFc-fused proteins resulting in the product with markedly longer half-life. Till current stage, clinical outcomes of the product indicated several advantages over Pegfilgrastim including no infection in patients and 1.5x faster neutropenia reduction period. In addition, the product is found comparable to Pegfilgrastim in terms of half-life. In the aspect of safety, the product demonstrated 1-4 times lower no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) value compared to Pegfilgrastim. In the same aspect, minimal immunogenicity and no anti-drug antibody (ADA) formation had been detected.
