    Mylan, Lupin Announce Positive CHMP Opinion for Nepexto

    Mylan, Lupin Announce Positive CHMP Opinion for Nepexto

    Hertfordshire, Pittsburgh, and Mumbai: Mylan N.V. and Lupin Limited (Lupin) has announced that the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion recommending the approval of Nepexto®, a biosimilar to Enbrel® (etanercept), for all indications of the reference product including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis (including ankylosing spondylitis and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis), plaque psoriasis and pediatric plaque psoriasis.

    The positive CHMP opinion is based on a similarity assessment which included preclinical and clinical studies demonstrating bioequivalence to the reference product. In addition, a phase 3 clinical study in patients with moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis confirmed the equivalence of Nepexto to the reference product in terms of efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity.

    The CHMP positive opinion will now be considered by the European Commission (EC). Once approved the EC will grant centralized marketing authorization for member countries of the EU. The decision on the EC's approval is expected in May 2020.

    Mylan President Rajiv Malik commented, "We are pleased with the positive CHMP opinion for Nepexto, biosimilar etanercept. This recommendation validates the strong scientific program supporting this important treatment, which is one of 20 products in our broad and diverse biosimilars portfolio, and our shared commitment with Lupin to help increase access to more affordable biologic treatments, such as etanercept, in Europe and many other regions around the world."

    Vinita Gupta, CEO, Lupin Limited said, "Biosimilars like Nepexto will play a critical role in expanding access to patients in Europe, providing effective treatment for multiple therapies including rheumatoid arthritis. We are extremely pleased with the positive CHMP opinion on our application. This milestone brings us one step closer to bringing an affordable biosimilar to etanercept to the European market through our partner Mylan. Once approved by the European Commission, Nepexto will be our first biosimilar to receive regulatory approval in Europe. Building on this progress, we continue to focus on advancing our biosimilar pipeline."

    Enbrel had sales of approximately $9.6 billion globally for the 12 months ending December 2019, according to IQVIA.

    In June 2018, Lupin and Mylan announced a collaboration to commercialize a biosimilar to etanercept in several global markets.
