Sandoz: A leader in patient access, savings, and manufacturing1-4

Sandoz, a global market leader, has proven that biosimilars can create expanded patient access while increasing healthcare savings1,5,6

ZARXIO® (filgrastim-sndz) was the first FDA-approved biosimilar1

ZARXIO® (filgrastim-sndz) was the first FDA-approved biosimilar1

*”Most” defined as a comparison to NEUPOGEN® (filgrastim), Granix® (tbo-filgrastim), and NIVESTYM® (filgrastim-aafi) in terms of combined medical and pharmacy benefit status. “Unrestricted” defined as on formulary, managed to Prescribing Information, and not requiring prior authorization and step edits. Coverage defined as “Exclusive or Co-Preferred” on commercial, Medicare, health exchange plans, and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) on pharmacy benefit, and commercial, Medicare and health exchange plans on medical benefit according to Managed Markets Insight & Technology (MMIT) data as of September 2019.12

ZARXIO cost savings may liberate healthcare resources and expand patient access

Savings were driven by biosimilar filgrastim

Net cost savings with biosimilars in the filgrastim market

ZARXIO is the #1 prescribed filgrastim and holds 48% of the prefilled syringe filgrastim market

Based on year-to-date sales as of December 2022; based on filgrastim net sales of $3.5 billion.2
Estimated refers to the extrapolation of the estimated spend based on the assumption that there are no biosimilars in the market.

ZIEXTENZO can result in payer savings and increased patient access

A new budget impact model demonstrated a 1-million-member health plan could save millions of dollars in healthcare costs by converting patients to biosimilar ZIEXTENZO16

Payer savings
Health Plan

In an economic analysis simulation model, a hypothetical panel of 20,000 cancer patients switching from Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim) to ZIEXTENZO were expected to result in payer savings and increased treatment access5
