Granocyte (

Use of glycosylated recombinant human G-CSF (
lenograstim) during and/or after induction chemotherapy in patients 61 years of age and older with acute myeloid leukemia: final results of AML-13, a randomized phase-3 study.
Comparison of outcome of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with and without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (
lenograstim) donor-marrow priming in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Patients receiving gemcitabine plus docetaxel were assumed to receive treatment with
lenograstim to prevent neutropenic complications; those with prior pelvic irradiation were assumed to receive a 25% dose reduction of gemcitabine plus docetaxel [33].
Lenograstim prevents morbidity from intensive induction chemotherapy in the treatment of inflammatory breast cancer.
Synthetic G-CSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor, e.g., filgrastim,
lenograstim) is also being prescribed to improve the corresponding neutropenia (a decrease of the neutrophil granulocyte count below 0.5x[10.sup.9]/L) in recent years (2).
Existing G-CSF products are marketed as Filgrastim (E.coli derived) and
Lenograstim (CHO derived).
