This analysis performed signal identification for Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz) compared with Neupogen (filgrastim) by monitoring non-pregnancy and non-cancer outcomes among new users of Zarxio or Neupogen.
The study period includes data from November 5, 2016 to June 30, 2021. We distributed this request to five Sentinel Data Partners on October 7, 2022.
Statistical alerts generated by this analysis do not on their own represent safety signals. Alerts are triaged in consideration of the study design, existing drug knowledge, therapeutic context, treated population, and potential public health impact. Alerts determined to be newly identified safety signals (NISS) follow the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research manual of policies and procedures for NISS (MAPP 4121.3).
