Positive Outlook
- Deliver continued unit share growth with UDENYCA® against all Neulasta® dosage forms, while maintaining average selling price (“ASP”) discipline, leveraging the validated branded-biosimilar strategy of offering a robust value proposition across all key customer segments.
- Advance the Company’s biosimilar candidate to Avastin® (bevacizumab) in-licensed from Innovent toward an expected 351(k) BLA submission with the U.S. FDA in 2021, depending on the outcome of the three-way pharmacokinetic (“PK”) study, the timing of required interactions with the FDA, as well as completion of analytical similarity exercises.
- Facilitate Bioeq’s resubmission of a 351(k) BLA with the FDA for the biosimilar candidate to Lucentis® (ranibizumab) in 2021.
- Advance the Company’s internally developed CHS-2020 biosimilar candidate to Eylea® (aflibercept) to a projected Phase 3 clinical trial initiation in 2021, with launch projected in 2025, if approved.
- Submit the 351(k) BLA for the Company’s internally developed Humira® (adalimumab) biosimilar, CHS-1420, by year end 2020, consistent with prior guidance, and continue other activities to advance toward a projected market entry in the United States on or after July 1, 2023, if approved.
