UDENYCA® was confirmed to be highly similar to Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), with no clinically meaningful differences.1,2 
*
The assays used to assess immunogenicity for UDENYCA were highly sensitive and demonstrated no treatment-emergent neutralizing antibodies in more than 300 subjects. 
Clinical studies with UDENYCA were conducted in healthy subjects, the most sensitive and informative population in which to assess biosimilarity.4 
  • A study in healthy subjects is likely to produce less pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic variability compared to a study in patients with potential confounding factors, such as underlying and/or concomitant disease and concomitant medications, such as myelosuppressive chemotherapy
  • Healthy subjects are fully immunocompetent and can mount an immune antidrug antibody response
  • Lack of confounding factors in healthy subjects allows for better evaluation of treatment-related adverse events that are specific to pegfilgrastim
  • A study in healthy subjects is likely to produce less pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic variability compared to a study in patients with potential confounding factors, such as underlying and/or concomitant disease and concomitant medications, such as myelosuppressive chemotherapy

Clinical studies in cancer patients to confirm biosimilarity of UDENYCA to Neulasta® were not required by the FDA.
ADA = antidrug antibody; adverse events = AE; PK/PD = pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic.
Approval based on extensive data analysis and stringent FDA requirements3 
Establishing biosimilarity for UDENYCA
The FDA recommends a stepwise approach for biosimilar development3,4 
THREE ADMINISTRATION OPTIONS

INDICATION
UDENYCA® (pegfilgrastim-cbqv) is a leukocyte growth factor indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with non-myeloid malignancies
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATION: Patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to pegfilgrastim products or filgrastim products. Reactions have included anaphylaxis.
