ABSTRACT
A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Singapore General Hospital to study the safety and efficacy of biosimilar granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) Nivestim for chemo-mobilization of stem cells for autologous stem cell transplant (autoSCT). All patients who underwent an autoSCT between January 2011 and December 2016 were screened for eligibility. A total of 194 patients were screened, and 131 were included. Nivestim was used in 65 patients and the originator G-CSF (Neupogen) in 66. Patient characteristics were similar between both arms except for chemo-mobilization regimen used (p < 0.0001). Mobilization success rates were found to be comparable, at 96.9% (Nivestim) and 97% (Neupogen). Adverse events rates were also similar. Median duration of G-CSF use and hospitalization were both found to be shorter in the Nivestim arm. Median drug acquisition cost per mobilization cycle was significantly lower in the Nivestim arm at $533.40 (range $213.40-$1280.20) as compared to $1261.90 (range $574-$2755.20) in the Neupogen arm (p < 0.0001). No difference was observed for neutrophil and platelet engraftment after autoSCT. Nivestim was found to be safe and non-inferior to Neupogen for chemo-mobilization of stem cells for autoSCT, and associated with lower cost and shorter length of hospitalization.
