CVS Health announces the creation of its Cordavis subsidiary dedicated to biosimilars


(AOF) – CVS Health is expected to break even in pre-market on Wall Street after announcing today the launch of Cordavis, a subsidiary that will work directly with manufacturers to commercialize and/or co-produce biosimilar products for the US pharmaceutical market. For its first product, Cordavis has entered into an agreement with Sandoz to commercialize Hyrimoz, a biosimilar of Humira, in the first quarter of 2024 for a list price more than 80% below the current list price of Humira.

“CVS Health has a tradition of providing innovative solutions that lower the cost of medications and ensure patients have access to the medications they need to stay healthy,” said Shawn Guertin, Chief Financial Officer of CVS Health. “Cordavis is a logical next step for us and will help ensure an adequate supply of biosimilars in the United States and support this market, while improving health outcomes and reducing costs for consumers.”
