Shots:

  • The company reported the commercial availability of Stimufend, a biosimilar to Neulasta in the US for patients who are at risk for febrile neutropenia. Stimufend is commercially available in a 6mg/0.6 mL solution in a single-dose pre-filled syringe combined with a passive needle guard
  • Stimufend was approved in the US in Sept 2022 for non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia. The FDA approval of Stimufend was based on the totality of evidence supporting its biosimilarity to Neulasta
