FDA Approves Steqeyma and Yesintek: Expanding Biosimilar Options for Stelara
• The FDA has approved Steqeyma (ustekinumab-stba) and Yesintek (ustekinumab-kfce) as biosimilars to Stelara, offering new options for patients with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
• Steqeyma and Yesintek are approved for plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, mirroring Stelara's indications.
• These approvals are expected to increase market competition and reduce treatment costs, with launches anticipated in early 2025 following licensing agreements.
