Journal, HEOR, Cost-effectiveness, Cost effectiveness: Cost-effectiveness of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) for the prevention of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 24, 2023 The long-term safety of biosimilars demonstrated here provides strong support for the concept of biosimilarity. Biosimilar filgrastim and pegfilgrastim as primary prophylaxis are cost-effective approaches to avoid FN events in patients with BC, NSCLC, or NHL at intermediate risk for FN in Austria, France, and Germany.

Retrospective data, Journal: Effectiveness of biosimilar pegfilgrastim in patients with multiple myeloma after high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 14, 2023 This prospective cohort study compared Italian patients with MM who received BIO/PEG post-ASCT with data collected retrospectively from historical control groups from the same center who received either filgrastim-sndz (BIO/G-CSF) or pegfilgrastim (PEG; originator)...Patients on BIO/PEG had less frequent grade 2-3 diarrhea (5.5%) compared with BIO/G-CSF (22.5%) or PEG (21.9%); grade 2-3 mucositis was most frequent in the BIO/G-CSF group. In conclusion, pegfilgrastim and its biosimilar displayed an advantageous efficacy and safety profile compared with biosimilar filgrastim in patients with MM post-ASCT.

Review, Journal: A review of the totality of evidence supporting the development and approval of a pegfilgrastim biosimilar (LA-EP2006). (Pubmed Central) - Jun 19, 2022 Clinical studies in a sensitive patient population also demonstrated similar efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity between Sandoz biosimilar pegfilgrastim and the reference biologic. The totality of evidence confirms that Sandoz biosimilar pegfilgrastim matches the reference biologic and will therefore provide equivalent efficacy and safety in all eligible indications.

Clinical, PK/PD data, Journal: A large multi-center, randomized, double-blind, cross-over study in healthy volunteers to compare pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of a pegfilgrastim biosimilar with its US- and EU-reference biologics. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 30, 2021 Sandoz biosimilar pegfilgrastim demonstrated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic similarity to both US- and EU-reference biologics. No meaningful differences in safety, local tolerability, and immunogenicity were identified.

[VIRTUAL] Incremental cost-effective ratio (ICER) analysis of pegfilgrastim biosimilars: a pharmacoeconomics study () - Dec 26, 2020 - Abstract #ASHP2020ASHP_3368; This allowed for a comparison of agents that were biosimilar but not therapeutically interchangeable since they do not meet any additional requirements compared to Neulasta® and would need to be evaluated in a new study to gain that status. Regardless, defining the two agents in terms of an ICER allows for a quick and easy comparison that can be used to determine the cost effectiveness of FDA approved biosimilars.

Clinical, P3 data, Journal: Safety analysis of proposed pegfilgrastim biosimilar in Phase I and Phase III studies. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 21, 2019 No clinically meaningful differences in safety, tolerability and immunogenicity were observed in healthy subjects. No differences in adverse events were found between Sandoz proposed biosimilar and reference pegfilgrastim, notwithstanding some differences between HVs and BC patients.

Journal: LA-EP2006: A Pegfilgrastim Biosimilar. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 16, 2019 The tolerability and safety profile of and the incidence of anti-drug antibodies with LA-EP2006 were similar to those of EU-sourced reference pegfilgrastim in this patient population. The role of reference pegfilgrastim in the management of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia is well established and LA-EP2006 provides an effective biosimilar alternative for patients requiring pegfilgrastim therapy.

Retrospective data, Journal: Pooled analysis of two randomized, double-blind trials comparing proposed biosimilar LA-EP2006 with reference pegfilgrastim in breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - May 26, 2018 P3 LA-EP2006 showed similar clinical efficacy and safety compared with reference pegfilgrastim. The current analysis reports data pooled from two independent, multinational, prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind phase III studies of similar design comparing the safety and efficacy of reference pegfilgrastim with LA-EP2006 in patients with breast cancer receiving myelotoxic (neo)adjuvant TAC (docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy and requiring granulocyte colony-stimulating factor...NCT01735175, NCT01516736.
