Popis: Abstract: Pegfilgrastim-apgf (nyvepria) was currently approved by FDA for the treatment of febrile neutropenia associated with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anticancer drugs. It was developed by Pfizer, USA. It is a PEGylated leukocyte growth-stimulating factor indicated to reduce the incidence of febrile neutropenia in patients receiving anticancer drugs. Nyvepria is biosim-ilar to pegfilgrastim, approved by FDA on June 10, 2020. It is the fourth FDA-approved drug for the treatment of infection exhibiting febrile neutropenia. This review abridges the indicators in the devel-opment of nyvepria foremost to approval for the treatment of febrile neutropenia (FN), a biosimilar regulatory framework, and current updates on the clinical trials (CTs).
