According to research firm IQVIA, Celltrion's ustekinumab biosimilar STEQEYMA captured 16.2% of the U.S. market in July, rising from a 10.2% share in February. The company attributes this growth to expanded insurance coverage, as STEQEYMA has secured preferred status on formularies of major U.S. pharmacy benefit managers. YUFLYMA, Celltrion's adalimumab biosimilar, recorded a 9.4% market share in July, expanding its prescription growth after being added to public insurance formularies of two of the three largest PBMs. The company sees potential synergies between its autoimmune disease-targeting products, allowing it to leverage existing relationships with specialists, insurers, and other healthcare stakeholders. TRUXIMA, a leading rituximab biosimilar with a 38.6% share in July, recently received interchangeability designation from the FDA, making it the first rituximab biosimilar to receive such status. INFLECTRA, Celltrion's infliximab biosimilar, maintains a 30.7% market share.
