Biocon has entered a global patent settlement and license agreement with Genentech for Pebrilzo, its biosimilar of Perjeta (Pertuzumab) used for HER2-positive breast cancer. The deal resolves all pending disputes in the US, Canada and other markets. Launch dates: Q1 CY2027 in EU and UK, Q3 CY2028 in the US, and CY2026-2028 in other RoW countries. Other terms are confidential. All launches remain subject to regulatory approval.
Removes patent overhang and gives Biocon a clear biosimilar launch roadmap in EU, UK, US and RoW markets, though still subject to regulatory clearances.
