REDWOOD CITY, CA, USA I May 03, 2018 I Coherus BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRS), today announced the re-submission of its biologics license application (BLA) for CHS-1701, a pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) biosimilar candidate, to the U.S. FDA under the 351(k) pathway.
The BLA is supported by similarity data from analytical, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity studies comparing CHS-1701 and Neulasta and integrates new immunogenicity data obtained from using a more revised immunogenicity assay.
“The CHS-1701 BLA re-submission marks a significant milestone in our ongoing transition to a commercial company as we tightly focus on execution of our strategic plan,” said Denny Lanfear, President and CEO of Coherus BioSciences. “Pegfilgrastim is the largest selling oncology product in the U.S., and CHS-1701 is the cornerstone of our oncology franchise. We believe we have a strong competitive position with this product, exemplified by our comprehensive clinical immunogenicity data as well as our excellent analytical biosimilarity data.”
