Coherus BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHRS), is proud to introduce its revolutionary single-dose, prefilled UDENYCA® (pegfilgrastim-cbqv) autoinjector to the United States market. UDENYCA® is an incredibly effective pegfilgrastim biosimilar designed to help reduce the chances of infection in patients receiving chemotherapy. Administering in less than 10 seconds, this streamlined autoinjector provides a simple and convenient way of providing care, whether in an office or at home.
The introduction of UDENYCA® autoinjector offers independent patients with a busy lifestyle, or those who have difficulty returning to the office the day after chemotherapy, a convenient option for easily administering at-home treatments. As Medical Director of NYU Langone Arena Oncology, Francis Arena, M.D., expresses “This gives us more choice in meeting our patients’ needs, and the simple administration gives confidence in at-home administration.”
With the autoinjector, more people are able to have more flexible options with their treatments, allowing them to take care of their own health independently and with confidence.
At Coherus, we are proud to introduce UDENYCA® AI, the newest home administration option for pegfilgrastim. Our goal is to be the only pegfilgrastim product with three presentation options and maximize our market share growth. Through market research, we have found that patients value quick administration, ease of use, and a sense of control and independence when it comes to their at-home treatment options.
UDENYCA® AI provides providers and health plans with a reliable option to increase access for patients. And with the anticipated launch of our proprietary on-body injector later this year, if approved, UDENYCA® will become the only pegfilgrastim product offering all three presentation options.
At Coherus, we are passionate about innovating to meet the needs of cancer patients. That’s why we are delighted to offer UDENYCA® AI, a breakthrough solution designed to simplify their journey in a more meaningful way.
UDENYCA® AI is revolutionizing how therapeutics are delivered with its user-friendly features that are designed to ensure successful administration. Backed by a comprehensive data package and a clinical study which demonstrated that UDENYCA delivered with the new AI system was pharmacokinetically, pharmacodynamically and immunologically comparable to prefilled syringes, approval for UDENYCA® AI was effortlessly granted. This remarkable advancement offers a safe and hassle-free delivery solution, making it an ideal choice for healthcare professionals.
