Lupin Launches Ranibizumab Biosimilar Across Europe
LUPIN : Lupin Limited has announced the European launch of its biosimilar ranibizumab, marketed under the brand name Ranluspec™, with Sandoz Group AG partnering to distribute the product across the European Union, excluding Germany. The launch marks an important commercial development for Lupin's biotechnology business and expands the availability of its biosimilar treatment for patients with retinal diseases. Ranibizumab is a biosimilar medicine used in the treatment of several retinal conditions, including wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and choroidal neovascularization . Under the partnership arrangement, Sandoz will oversee the commercialisation and distribution of Ranluspec™ in the designated European markets, while Lupin is responsible for manufacturing and regulatory submissions. Germany is excluded from the stated European distribution arrangement. The launch represents a step forward in commercialising Lupin's biosimilar portfolio through an established international pharmaceutical partner. The development also highlights Lupin's presence in the global biologics and biosimilars market, particularly in ophthalmology. Expanding access to biosimilar medicines can provide additional treatment options for healthcare providers and patients. Market participants may track the commercial rollout, market reach and further developments related to the product and the company's biotechnology portfolio. Overall, the European launch of Ranluspec™ through Sandoz represents a notable business update for Lupin, supporting its international biosimilar expansion and access to treatments for retinal diseases.
