Biocon and Mylan Launch Fulphila (biosimilar- pegfilgrastim) in Canada

Shots:

  • The companies have launched Fulphila- a biosimilar referencing Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) and is approved by Health Canada to decrease the incidence of infection- as manifested by febrile neutropenia- in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-neoplastic drugs
  • The approval is based on analytical- non/clinical data- which showed that Fulphila is highly similar to Neulasta with no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and efficacy
  • The launch will expand biosimilar access to the patients in Canada- following the successful launch of Fulphila in the US. This is the second biosimilar to be launched in Canada under Mylan and Biocon collaboration
