Lupin and DKSH have inked an exclusive licensing and supply agreement to commercialize five of Alvotech’s proposed biosimilars in the Philippines. The biosimilars planned under this agreement include biosimilar Prolia (denosumab 60mg/ml), Xgeva (denosumab 70 mg/ml), Simponi (golimumab), and Eylea (aflibercept) as well as two undisclosed proposed biosimilars for immunology and oncology.
According to the agreement, Lupin’s subsidiary in Philippines, Multicare Pharmaceuticals, will file for marketing approval and be responsible for distribution and commercialization of the biosimilars once approved.
