Company Overview
Coherus Oncology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the research, development, and commercialization of cancer immunotherapies across the United States. The company's commercialized products include several biosimilar therapies. These comprise UDENYCA, a long-acting granulocyte-colony stimulating factor biosimilar to Neulasta; YUSIMRY, an equivalent to Humira, prescribed for inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and Crohn's disease, which are characterized by heightened tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production; and CIMERLI, a Lucentis biosimilar aimed at treating specific ophthalmic disorders such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, macular edema, and diabetic retinopathy. Beyond its commercial products, Coherus maintains a robust pipeline of investigational immunotherapies. This includes LOQTORZI, a novel, next-generation programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor; Casdozokitug, a recombinant human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody designed to target interleukin 27; CHS-114, a highly specific human afucosylated IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting a chemokine receptor prevalent on Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME); CHS-1000, an anti-ILT4 monoclonal antibody aimed at solid tumors; and GSK4381562, an antibody engineered to target CD112R on tumor cells. To support its endeavors, the company has forged several strategic alliances.
