Amgen has filed to settle on undisclosed terms patent-infringement litigation involving both its Kanjinti and Mvasi biosimilars, having previously seen originator Genentech fail multiple times to block commercial sales of the products that were launched ‘at risk’.

Amgen has an open road for its Mvasi bevacizumab biosimilar after Genentech’s appeal to enjoin sales, over a notice of commercial marketing technicality, was denied. The US firm continues to weigh up patent-infringement proceedings in separate actions.

Samsung Bioepis has received a pan-European endorsement from the CHMP for its Aybintio bevacizumab biosimilar. The nod follows two previous European Avastin biosimilar approvals, with market formation believed to be imminent.
