Poherdy® is approved for all of the same indications as Perjeta®.  There is an ongoing patent dispute between the parties over Poherdy®, Case No. 2:25-cv-14648 (D.N.J.) (see previously reported Genentech Files First BPCIA Litigation Against Perjeta® (pertuzumab) Biosimilar Applicant). There are no other pending patent disputes or publicly disclosed aBLAs for Perjeta® biosimilars.

Roche reported U.S. sales of approximately $1.486B USD (1.345B CHF) for Perjeta® in 2024.
