PISCATAWAY, N.J.--()--U.S.-based Adello Biologics today announced that U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the company’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for a biosimilar candidate referencing Neupogen® (filgrastim).

At Adello, our vision is to provide high-quality, affordable biosimilars to patients,” said Dr. Peter Moesta, chief executive officer of Adello. “If approved, we are excited to be able to offer an additional, important treatment choice that can prevent serious complications for patients.”
