Biocon Secures 10-Year Brazil Supply Deal for Pertuzumab Breast Cancer Drug
Biocon has secured a 10-year supply contract in Brazil for Pertuzumab, a monoclonal antibody used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer. The agreement, made through a consortium with Brazilian partners Bahiafarma and Bionovis, grants exclusive access to Brazil's public healthcare market under the Productive Development Partnership (PDP) program, which covers about 70% of the country's demand. The deal includes phased localization of production in Brazil and milestone payments to Biocon, aiming to improve access to affordable cancer therapy and support local manufacturing.
