An rhG-CSF derivative, nartograstim (NTG), at dose levels of 0 (saline), 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 microg/kg, was administered subcutaneously to groups of 3 male and 3 female cynomolgus monkeys once daily for 26 weeks to investigate its toxicity. In Week 4 or later, an increase in leukocyte counts consisting mainly of neutrophils was noted in all NTG dose groups, and was considered to be attributable to the pharmacological action of NTG.
