FDA approves Coherus’ ranibizumab biosimilar with interchangeability exclusivity

Coherus Biosciences announced that the FDA has approved Coherus’ Cimerli™, a biosimilar to Genentech’s Lucentis® (ranibizumab).  Cimerli is the third approved US biosimilar, but is the first to be approved for all five of Lucentis’ indications and to receive the interchangeable designation, resulting in twelve months interchangeability exclusivity.
