joint venture NeoBiocon , has begun to gain critical mass recording sales of $5
Mn.
Biocon has initiated patient
enrollment for the global phase III clinical trials for biosimilar trastuzumab,
post the successful completion of global phase I study.
The ongoing phase III trial being
conducted in India continues to make good progress .
Biocon has recently concluded the
second part of its EU Phase III trial for biosimilar rh-Insulin, aimed at
establishing comparable immunogenicity & safety with the innovator products,
over a 12 month evaluation period.
This data is being compiled along with
the efficacy data obtained in the first part of the study. This will enable the
dossier submission with the regulatory authorities , thus paving the way for
marketing authorization.
Novel
Molecules
The 3rd Quarter of FY13
witnessed major advancements in Biocon’s novel molecules program with significant
progress across all lead programs. It received Marketing Authorization from the
Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for the Novel Biologic Itolizumab, an
anti CD6 molecule, for the treatment of chronic plaque Psoriasis.
Itolizumab is a first -in-class therapy
with a unique mechanism of action and an excellent safety profile as indicated
during the 52 week Phase III study conducted in India.
It will introduce this product under
the brand name, AlzumabTM in India in FY 14 .
It has signed an option agreement with
Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) for the global clinical development of its oral
Insulin program: IN-105.
This alliance with BMS is a strategic partnership
which will help us undertake targeted global trials under a US IND. BMS has the
right to exercise an option for exclusive worldwide license post the completion
of these trials.
BVX 20, the novel anti CD-20 therapy ,
has entered the clinic in India for a Phase I trial in Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (blood

further value differentiators.
Commenting on this performance, Peter
Bains, Director Syngene International , said, “....The order book position has
been further strengthened with retention of existing business as well as
expansion with existing clients, and acquisition of new customers. We are well positioned
to see momentum continue through Q4 and into the next fiscal”

The business outlook remains positive
as it is fully geared to accelerate growth of all the business verticals. Going
forward it aims aim to have higher contribution from Biosimilars, Research Services
and Branded Formulations to the overall revenue. The increasing R&D
investments are reflective of the progress being made in this direction with
all the research assets of novel molecules and biosimilars progressing well on
the development pathway. It continues discussions with potential partners for
taking the insulins & novel portfolio to the global markets.
