Pharmacology
Plerixafor is a CXCR4 chemokine receptor inhibitor that blocks binding of stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha), disrupting HSC anchoring in the bone marrow and mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood for apheresis collection.
Xgeva is a RANKL inhibitor; it binds to RANKL, a protein essential for osteoclast formation, function, and survival, thereby preventing osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and modulating calcium release from bone in solid tumor bone metastases, multiple myeloma, giant cell tumor of bone, and hypercalcemia of malignancy.
