Alvo group B2B unit Adalvo expects to file 30 decentralized procedures in Europe over the coming year as it expands its partnerships with Frontier Biopharma, Zentiva and Stada.

Stada and Xbrane have celebrated the approval by the UK’s MHRA of the pair’s Ximluci ranibizumab biosimilar rival to Lucentis in Great Britain. A launch is planned this year.

The start of 2023 has seen a number of firms across the off-patent industry announce management changes, with multiple appointments at Sandoz, a new CFO at Stada, a fresh CSO at Mallinckrodt, new generics leadership at Orion and board changes at Viatris and EuroAPI.

With the advent of 2023, comes the start of the industry’s next patent cliff, with five products that reached billions in sales at their peak set to lose US patent exclusivity during the year. Scrip takes a look into how the affected big pharma firms are preparing for anticipated market erosion and which generic and biosimilar companies are positioned to benefit the most.
