Sandoz expanded its biosimilar portfolio through a strategic collaboration with Shanghai Henlius Biotech covering up to 10 monoclonal antibody assets, while Teva secured exclusive global commercialization rights for a biosimilar candidate to Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) via a licensing agreement with Polpharma Biologics.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face growing competition as major players lock up biosimilar candidates and commercialization rights early. If your biotech firm develops biosimilars, partner aggressively or risk losing key market opportunities ahead of upcoming patent expiries.
