What is Udenyca?

Udenyca is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Coherus BioSciences, Inc. Udenyca stimulates the growth of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that can become depleted during chemotherapy treatment.

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

Udenyca is biosimilar to Neulasta for the indications listed, meaning that the biological product is approved based on data demonstrating that it is highly similar to an FDA-approved biological product, known as a reference product and that there are no clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar product and the reference product.

What doses of Udenyca are available?

Udenyca is available in injection form, in the following doses: 6 mg/0.6 mL in a single-dose prefilled syringe.

For patients with cancer receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy administer 6 mg subcutaneously once per chemotherapy cycle. Do not administer between 14 days before and 24 hours after cytotoxic chemotherapy. Dosing for pediatric patients weighing less than 45 kg should be based on weight.

Please read the patient information guide and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
