Bayer Establishes US Special Access Program for Leukine(R) While Replacing Current Liquid Formulation

Date:1/23/2008

- Leukine lyophilized formulation temporarily reserved for patients with

The upward trend in adverse event reporting rates is only associated with the Leukine liquid 500 mcg vial containing EDTA. Bayer has not observed an upward trend in reporting rates of these adverse events in the marketed Leukine 250 mcg lyophilized vial which does not contain EDTA.

Leukine is the only myeloid growth factor approved to reduce the incidence of infections resulting in early death following induction chemotherapy in older adults with AML and to prolong survival of patients with bone marrow graft failure or engraftment delay, as co
