Aggregation of human plasma and of human blood induced in vitro by filgrastim originator product; effect of PEGylation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We herein report that filgrastim product Neupogen® and the filgrastim formulation buffer induced aggregate formation when mixed in vitro with human plasma, and formation of large membranous erythrocyte aggregates when mixed with human blood, similar to the aggregation induced by pegfilgrastim and by pegfilgrastim buffer [T. Arvinte, E. Poirier, N. Ersayin, G. Darpin, A. Cudd, J. Dowd, S. Brokx, Aggregation of human plasma and of human blood induced in vitro by pegfilgrastim originator formulation buffer and pegfilgrastim products, Eur. J. Pharmaceut. Biopharmaceut. (2023), doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.10.019]. The data identify the filgrastim buffer (which is practically the same in filgrastim and pegfilgrastim products) as the main driver of human plasma and blood aggregation. Kinetic experiments showed differences in the extent of plasma aggregation induced by a filgrastim product manufactured in EU and one manufactured in USA. Human donor variability in the plasma aggregation induced by filgrastim was observed. To study the effect of PEGylation of the filgrastim protein on plasma aggregation we compared filgrastim (Neupogen®) with pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) solutions at the same protein concentration. These data show that PEGylation has a beneficial effect in inhibiting to an extent plasma aggregation. Interestingly, 20 kDa polyethylene glycol in the filgrastim buffer induced more plasma aggregation compared to the buffer, similar to the aggregation induced by pegfilgrastim. For intravenous infusion filgrastim solutions (300 µg/ml, vials only) may be diluted in 5 % dextrose from a concentration of 300 µg/ml to 5 µg/ml. Aggregation of human plasma was also induced by filgrastim solutions diluted in 5 % dextrose to 50 µg/ml, 15 µg/ml and 5 µg/ml filgrastim, as well as by the filgrastim buffer similarly diluted in 5 % dextrose (1:6, 1:20 and 1:60 dilution). These data show that filgrastim solutions used for intravenous administration in patients induce human plasma aggregation in vitro. Such aggregation phenomena may be related to known infusion side effects of filgrastim therapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
