Fresenius Kabi launches first biosimilar in the U.S.

Fresenius Kabi’s Biosimilar Stimufend® (pegfilgrastim-fpgk) is now available from Fresenius Kabi in the United States. Stimufend® was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2022 for use in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anticancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia. It is Fresenius Kabi’s first U.S. biosimilar launch. The expansion of the company’s global biosimilars portfolio with a focus on oncology and immunology is an important milestone in its Vision 2026 growth strategy.
