Forward guidance
Coherus will continue delivering on the promise of biosimilars and laying the foundation for long-term growth across its three therapeutic areas: Oncology, Ophthalmology and Immunology.
Tailwinds
- Maintain market position as the leading pegfilgrastim biosimilar of choice, leveraging the validated branded-biosimilar strategy of offering a robust value proposition across all key customer segments including ample product supply.
- Increase penetration against all Neulasta® dosage forms, while maintaining average selling price (ASP) discipline.
- Advance its Avastin (bevacizumab) oncology biosimilar candidate in-licensed from Innovent toward the filing of a BLA with the U.S. FDA in late 2020 or early 2021 depending on FDA interaction timing and development requirements, with an expected launch directly upon approval.
- Facilitate Bioeq filing a BLA with the FDA for the biosimilar candidate to Lucentis (ranibizumab) in 2020, with expected product launch in the United States to address a $6 billion anti-VEGF ophthalmology market, if approved.
- Complete certain development and regulatory objectives with CHS-1420, Humira (adalimumab) immunology biosimilar candidate to support the filing of a BLA with the U.S. FDA in 2020 with an expected competitive launch in 2023 in the largest biologics market, if approved.
