UDENYCA^® is administered in-office to ensure patient confidence

Next-day dosing with a prefilled syringe administered by a healthcare professional

UDENYCA^® has been administered to over 200,000 patients since launch.^*1

Dosing &
administration²

Do not administer UDENYCA^® between 14 days before and 24 hours after administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy
The UDENYCA^® prefilled syringe is not designed to allow for direct administration of doses less than 0.6 mL (6 mg), as the syringe does not bear graduation marks
Direct administration to pediatric patients weighing less than 45 kg, requiring dosing of less than 0.6 mL (6 mg), is not recommended due to the potential for dosing errors. For more information, please refer to the Full Prescribing Information

CONFIDENCE IN CARE WITH PEGFILGRASTIM

UDENYCA^® PFS: Administered once per cycle

Single-dose prefilled subcutaneous injection of 6 mg administered once per chemotherapy cycle

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines^®) suggest pegfilgrastim use to support clinical outcomes during chemotherapy.^†3

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 receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia.

Limitations of Use

UDENYCA^® is not indicated for the mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATION: Patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to pegfilgrastim products or filgrastim products. Reactions have included anaphylaxis.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:

Fatal splenic rupture: Evaluate patients who report left upper abdominal or shoulder pain for an enlarged spleen or splenic rupture.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS): Evaluate patients who develop fever, lung infiltrates, or respiratory distress. Discontinue UDENYCA^® in patients with ARDS.

Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis: The majority of reported events occurred upon initial exposure. Allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can recur within days after the discontinuation of initial anti-allergic treatment. Permanently discontinue UDENYCA^® in patients with serious allergic reactions.

Sickle cell crises: Severe and sometimes fatal crises have occurred. Discontinue UDENYCA^® if sickle cell crisis occurs.

Glomerulonephritis: The diagnoses were based upon azotemia, hematuria (microscopic and macroscopic), proteinuria, and renal biopsy. Generally, events resolved after dose reduction or discontinuation. Evaluate and consider dose-reduction or interruption of UDENYCA^® if causality is likely.

Leukocytosis: White blood cell (WBC) counts of 100 x 10⁹/L or greater have been observed in patients receiving pegfilgrastim products. Monitoring of complete blood count (CBC) during UDENYCA^® therapy is recommended.

Thrombocytopenia: Thrombocytopenia has been reported in patients receiving pegfilgrastim. Monitor platelet counts.

Capillary Leak Syndrome: Has been reported after G-CSF administration, including pegfilgrastim products, and is characterized by hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hemoconcentration. Episodes vary in frequency, severity and may be life-threatening if treatment is delayed. If symptoms develop, closely monitor and give standard symptomatic treatment, which may include a need for intensive care.

Potential for Tumor Growth Stimulatory Effects on Malignant Cells: The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor through which pegfilgrastim products and filgrastim products act has been found on tumor cell lines. The possibility that pegfilgrastim products act as a growth factor for any tumor type, including myeloid malignancies and myelodysplasia, diseases for which pegfilgrastim products are not approved, cannot be excluded.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Patients with Breast and Lung Cancer: MDS and AML have been associated with the use of pegfilgrastim in conjunction with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in patients with breast and lung cancer. Monitor patients for sign and symptoms of MDS/AML in these settings.

Aortitis: Has been reported in patients receiving pegfilgrastim products, occurring as early as the first week after start of therapy. Manifestations may include generalized signs and symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, malaise, back pain, and increased inflammatory markers (e.g., c-reactive protein and white blood cell count). Consider aortitis when signs and symptoms develop without known etiology. Discontinue UDENYCA^® if aortitis is suspected.

Nuclear Imaging: Increased hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow in response to growth factor therapy has been associated with transient positive bone imaging changes. Consider when interpreting bone imaging results.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: Most common adverse reactions (≥ 5% difference in incidence compared to placebo) are bone pain and pain in extremity.

To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Coherus BioSciences at 1‑800‑4‑UDENYCA (1‑800‑483‑3692) or FDA at 1‑800‑FDA‑1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

G-CSF expanded use during COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network^® (NCCN^®) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO^®) have offered short-term recommendations specific to issues with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) for hematopoietic growth factors, as related to the on-label use of our product. The recommendations include the expanded prophylactic use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), such as pegfilgrastim, to reduce the potential number and length of hospitalizations for cancer patients undergoing various chemotherapy treatments. Please see important limitations to these recommendations outlined below.

UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS

The short-term recommendations include a lowered threshold for the use of myeloid growth factors from those chemotherapy regimens that have a 20% or higher risk of febrile neutropenia to now include those regimens with a 10%-20% risk of febrile neutropenia, which includes all of the intermediate risk chemotherapy regimens.^1,2

CAUTION: Physicians may wish to avoid use of or discontinue G-CSF in cases of respiratory infection, respiratory symptoms, or confirmed or suspected COVID-19 to avoid increase in pulmonary inflammation or hypothetical risk of increasing inflammatory cytokines associated with adverse outcome.
