The US FDA approved Ranluspec, the first interchangeable ranibizumab biosimilar with dual-presentation forms, for treating key retinal conditions. This approval enables pharmacist substitution without prescriber intervention, potentially improving treatment access for conditions like wet AMD.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now position yourself in the US retinal treatment market where pharmacists can swap Lucentis for Ranluspec without extra approvals. This opens paths to streamline supply in eye care clinics and challenges existing brands on pharmacies’ shelves.
