Kashiv BioSciences, LLC Obtains Marketing Authorization for Pegfilgrastim Injection from Health Canada

Kashiv BioSciences, LLC (“Kashiv” or the “Company”) today announced that Health Canada has granted marketing authorization for its Pegfilgrastim Injection, enabling its commercial launch in this market. This marks an important step in Kashiv’s strategy to expand access to high-quality biosimilars in global markets.  

Pexegra^TM is a long-acting G-CSF biosimilar indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive antineoplastic drugs. The marketing authorization follows a rigorous regulatory review by Health Canada, ensuring that Kashiv’s Pegfilgrastim Injection meets the stringent quality, safety, and efficacy standards comparable to the reference biologic.  

JAMP Pharma Group, Kashiv’s licensing partner in Canada, will spearhead the distribution and commercialization efforts. "The addition of the Pegfilgrastim Injection to our BIOJAMP^® portfolio reinforces our commitment to providing Canadian patients with access to high-quality, cost-effective biosimilar medications," said Louis Pilon, CEO of JAMP Pharma Group.  

"The marketing authorization of our Pegfilgrastim Injection by Health Canada highlights Kashiv BioSciences’ expertise in the development of complex biologics and biosimilars," said Dr. Chandramauli Rawal, Chief Operating Officer of Kashiv BioSciences.
