Hi,

I'm searching for literature on the efficacy of Neulasta given greater than 72 hours post chemo. I've read the Amgen PI and it states that it can remain unfrigerated up to 72 hours and be give no sooner than 24 hours post chemo or 14 days prior to chemo. I was told by a peer that it is not effective if given greater than 72 hours and I can not find any evidence to support this.

If anyone has any information I would so appreciate it :heartbeat

Thank you
