Peginterferon Alfa-2a

Peginterferon alfa-2a, also known as pegylated interferon alfa-2a, is a covalent conjugate of recombinant alfa-2a interferon with a single branched bis-monomethoxy polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain. Interferon alfa-2a is produced biosynthetically using recombinant DNA technology and is the product of a cloned human leukocyte interferon gene inserted into and expressed in Escherichia Coli. Peginterferon alfa-2a is indicated, together with ribavirin, for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C in adult patients without cirrhosis and in adult patients with compensated cirrhosis, including Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)/Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-infection patients with stable HIV disease, with or without, antiretroviral therapy. Peginterferon alfa-2a is also indicated as a monotherapy for the treatment of both Hepatitis B Viral Early Antigen (HBeAg)-positive and HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in patients with compensated liver disease, liver inflammation and evidence of viral replication.
