Biosimilars create
competition for change

The rising cost of treatment continues to remain
at the forefront of physician and patient concerns.

Biosimilars offer choice

Biosimilars can drive down the cost of care while delivering quality treatment to those who need it. As high-value biosimilar competition continues to enter the market, providers are realizing the power of choice.

  • Projected annual savings from biosimilars alone are expected to top $60 billion in 2023 for a 5-year total of $153 billion1
  • Savings will benefit a range of stakeholders in the short term, with patients, payers, and the healthcare system seeing potential long-term benefits1

Coherus BioSciences was established in 2010 with the mission to improve patient access to high-quality biologics for life-altering diseases by leveraging the biosimilar regulatory pathway.

The need for UDENYCA®

Lack of competition enabled cost increases. Wholesale acquisition cost (WAC)
of Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim) has more than doubled since 2006.3

Biosimilars chart
Patients and payers share the cost burden
Although Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and insurers have taken on a greater share of the increasing costs, patients also share in this cost burden through larger co-pay and co-insurance premiums. Increasing costs reduce access for patients who may have difficulties paying for supportive care.4
UDENYCA® offers a choice
Availability of a biosimilar introduces competition and helps control costs while delivering quality supportive care to patients who need it.5
