描述已自动生成 Keren Haruvi, the head of Sandoz operations in North America, expressed satisfaction with the introduction of another significant addition to the growing collection of biosimilar products under Sandoz. This expansion enhances the current range offered in the field of ophthalmology. With the incorporation of CIMERLI®, Sandoz reaffirms its dedication to the biosimilar market, taking a substantial leap toward the objective of leading the way in expanding access to essential, more cost-effective medications across the United States.

Sandoz eagerly anticipates the opportunity to offer a broader spectrum of medicinal choices to American individuals dealing with visual impairments and deterioration. By acquiring the CIMERLI®* enterprise from Coherus, Sandoz is positioned to enhance its ophthalmic suite of services, paving the way for the introduction of future medications.

CIMERLI®* is a biosimilar available in injectable forms of 0.3 mg and 0.5 mg, sanctioned by the FDA to match the original LUCENTIS® (ranibizumab injection). It is prescribed for several retinal conditions, including the wet form of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinal swelling, and the swelling occurring after a blockage in the retinal vein.

As a biologic medication in the anti-VEGF category, CIMERLI® plays a crucial role in assisting individuals with retinal issues in maintaining or improving their sight. The FDA gave its approval to CIMERLI®* in August 2022, validating its biosimilarity to the original product based on the stringent criteria of safety, efficacy, and quality. When it was released in October 2022, it became the uniquely approved biosimilar that was deemed interchangeable with LUCENTIS® for all its prescribed uses.
