About Leukine(R)

Leukine(R) (sargramostim) is the only growth factor approved in the U.S. for use following induction chemotherapy in older adults (older than 55) with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) to shorten the time to neutrophil recovery and reduce the incidence of severe and life-threatening infections and infections resulting in death.
