16
Q

what is difference of filgrastim and pegfilgrastim

A

peg has longer half life

17
Q

which myeloid growth factor was made in yeast

A

sargramostim

18
Q

what are the R of signaling with myeloid GF

A

members of cytokine R superfamily and initiate the JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway

19
Q

what do the G-CSF drugs do

A

stimulate proliferation and differentiation of progenitors already committed to neutrophil lineage

20
Q

how do the G-CSF drugs change peripheral blood

A

increase [ ] of hematopoietic stem cells in peripheral blood

21
Q

What is effect of GM-CSF

A

stimualte myelopoiesis
early and late granulocytic progenitor cells and erythroid and megakaryocyte progenitors
stimulates function of mature neutrophils
stimulates T cell proliferation together with IL-2

22
Q

which myeloid GF increases [ ] of peripheral blood stem cells the most

A

G-CSF

23
Q

What are uses of myeloid GF clinically

A

neturopenia from chemo
netruopenia from anything
patients undergoing high dose chemo because mobilizes the peripheral stem cells for collection by leukapheresis prior to chemo

24
Q

what are signs of G-CSF toxicity

A

bone pain

25
Q

signs of GM-CSF toxicity

A

fever, malaise, arthralgias, myalgias, capillary leak syndrome (peripheral edema and pleural or pericardial effusions)

26
Q

why is recombinatnt thrombopoietin not used clinically

A

production of autoAb that result in development of thrombocytopenia

27
Q

MOA oprelvekin IL-11

A

activates specific cell surface cytokine R to stimulate growth of multiple lymphoid and myeloid cells
acts synergistaclly with other growth factors to stimulate the growth of primitive megakaryocytic progenitors
increases # peripheral platelets and neutrophils

28
Q

what is romiplostim

A

peptide agonist of the thrombopoeitin R Mpl

29
Q

half life of this drug is inversely related to serum platelemt count

A

romiplostim

30
Q

MOA romiplostim

A

activates Mpl thrombopoietin R to cause dose dependent increase in platelet count that begins 5 days after subQ injection and peaks at 12-15 days

31
Q

what is IL-11 used for clinically

A

secondary prevention thrombocytopenia in patients receiving cytotoxic chemo for non-myeloid cancers

32
Q

what would you give to reduce number of platelet transufions in patient receieving cytotoxic chemo

A

IL-11 oprevlekin

33
Q

what is romiplostim used for

A

thrombocytopenia in patients with idiopathic thombocytopenic purpura who do not respond well to corticosteroids, Ig or splenectomy

34
Q

toxicity effects of IL-11

A

fatigue HA, dizziness and CV effects like transient arrhythmias
hypokalemia

35
Q

What are side effects romiplostim

A

mild HA on day of administration
