Hi all, with the rigorous secondary research for almost one month helped me to understand basic things about biosimilars and made me do this presentation. Hope u will appreciate it while going through it. thanks.
If anyone in need of this presentation, pls.put ur emial ID in comment box. will be sharing. and please share your thoughts about the presentation. i will be more thankful.
2. INTRODUCTION
The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry has been a global leader in
the cause of providing high quality affordable medicines to the
world
The first generation of biological drugs, which have introduced
many revolutionary treatments to life-threatening and rare
illnesses, is currently facing patent expiration
The similar biologics industry, globally has been growing
stupendously ,but still in its infancy

from living systems and can also be
produced by using biotechnological
procedures.

• A biological product produced by
biotechnological methods and claimed
to be “similar” in terms of
safety, efficacy and quality to a
reference biologic, which has been
granted a marketing authorization in
India

THOSE LOOKING FOR JOINING BIOSIMILARS JOURNEY..
23. INDIAN SCENARIO
While almost all major Indian drug makers have outlined plans, identified
products and set aside investment budgets to develop a robust product
pipeline, some have even started rolling them into the market.
23
About 20 Indian
companies entered
into market
Presently , there
were about 15
epoetin, 8 G-CSF
and 4 insulin
biosimilars available
24. INDIAN COMPANIES
24
The current biosimilars portfolio of Dr Reddy‟s Laboratories constitutes of
filgrastim, peg-filgrastim, Rituximab and Darbepeotin alpha, which have
commercial presence in 13 emerging countries.
“Soon, I expect to see Dr Reddy’s biosimilars entering developed markets,”
Chairman K Anji Reddy says.
Lupin is now on its way and plans to soon launch its first of two biosimilar drugs
for oncology in India by the end of this year. The company currently has a total
of 10 proteins in different stages of development
Reditux, a copy of Rituximab
manufactured by Dr.Reddy‟s,has been
available in India since 2007

25. Cipla are making huge investments in India and outside to
acquire manufacturing facilities and potential product
pipelines in the biosimilar segment
25
Wockhardt is among the early entrants and has developed
insulin and analogues
Recently opened a large biotech park in
AURANGABAD, designed according to U.S & EMEA
Standards
Ranbaxy, Biocon, Shantha Biotech, Reliance Life Sciences, Panacea Biotec
and Intas Biopharmaceuticals are also on the way

Ranbaxy holds 40% stake
in Zenotech for marketing
biosimilars
Developing antibodies
March 2012, Biocon and Pfizer had
amicably concluded their alliance to
commercialize Biocon‟s biosimilar
versions of Insulin and Insulin analog
products
Co-develop and market the low-cost
version of a biotech cancer medicine
filgrastim (G-CSF) in North America and
Europe
28. CONCLUSION
The biosimilars market is in the nascent stage of the industry life
cycle with limited market and product development experience.
However, there is a significant market opportunity from patent
expiries
High initial investments are still a major barrier for new entrants.
Collaborations among large pharmaceutical companies with
financial capabilities and specialty biotech companies with technical
expertise are expected
The strong integration of marketing and research and development
skills is the key to success in the biosimilars market.
28
Companies need commitment, along with a well-charted strategic
plan, investment and technical synergy because biosimilars is a long-term
game, with many hurdles on the way.
