Amneal announced it has launched FLYNETRA™ (pegfilgrastim) in the US, biosimilar to Amgen’s Neulasta®. FLYNETRA™ is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with nonmyeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs.
FLYNETRA™ was approved by the FDA in May 2022. This is Amneal’s third biosimilar approved in the US (following its filgrastim and bevacizumab biosimilars).
