Biocon Settles Patent Dispute with Genentech for Breast Cancer Biosimilar Pebrilzo Launch
Biocon has reached a global patent settlement with Genentech, allowing it to launch its breast cancer biosimilar Pebrilzo, a version of Pertuzumab, in the European Union and the UK by early 2027 and in the US by late 2028, pending regulatory approvals. The agreement resolves disputes across multiple regions and permits earlier launches in some markets. Pebrilzo targets the HER2-positive breast cancer treatment market, where Roche's Perjeta generated nearly 3 billion Swiss francs in 2025, though commercial success will depend on pricing and adoption.
