South Korean biopharmaceutical firm Samsung Bioepis said Monday it has won approval from European authorities for the sale of its ophthalmology biosimilar, Byooviz.


국내 바이오의약품회사 삼성바이오에피스가 월요일 유럽으로부터 안과학 바이오시밀러(바이오의약품 복제약) 바이우비즈 판매 승인을 얻었다고 전했다.



The European Commission granted the marketing authorization on ranibizumab biosimilar, previously known as SB11, which references Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis' blockbuster medication Lucentis.

유럽연합 집행위원회는 스위스계 거대 제약사 노바티스의 블록버스터급 의약품 루센티스를 지칭하는 SB11로 알려진 라니비주맙 바이오시밀러 마케팅을 승인했다.



It is the first biosimilar referencing Lucentis to be commercialized in the European Union. The Novartis product registered $1.93 billion in sales for 2020.

유럽 시장에서 루센티스 바이오시밀러를 판매하는 것은 이번이 처음이다. 이 제품은 2020년 기준 약 19억3천만 달러의 매출을 기록한 바 있다.



Lucentis is a medication for ophthalmic disease and has indications for treating macular degeneration, a common eye disorder among people over 50.

루센티스는 안구질환 치료제로서 50세 이상 환자들에게 흔히 나타나는 안구질환 황반변성 적응증을 보유하고 있다.



Samsung Bioepis and its marketing partner Biogen are also seeking to commercialize an aflibercept biosimilar candidate, known as SB15, which is currently in phase three clinical trial evaluation.

삼성바이오에피스와 마케팅 파트너사 바이오젠도 현재 임상3상 평가 단계에 있는 애플리버셉트 바이오시밀러(SB15) 상용화를 추진하고 있다.



Samsung Bioepis, established in 2012, is a joint venture between Samsung Biologics and Biogen. Samsung BioLogics is a biopharmaceutical unit of South Korea's top conglomerate, Samsung Group.

한편 바이오에피스는 2012년 설립된 삼성바이오로직스와 바이오젠의 합작법인이다. 삼성바이오로직스는 국내 1위 그룹 삼성그룹의 바이오의약품 계열사다.



Samsung Bioepis currently has 10 products and pipelines of blockbuster drugs in its portfolio. The company is selling three biosimilars for autoimmune diseases and two anticancer biosimilar therapies in Europe. (Yonhap)

삼성바이오에피스는 현재 총 10종의 (바이오시밀러) 제품 및 블록버스터급 의약품 파이프라인을 포트폴리오에 보유하고 있다. 삼성바이오에피스는 자가면역성 간염 바이오시밀러 3종과 항암 바이오시밀러 2종을 유럽에서 판매하고 있다.
