The European Commission has granted an extension to Celltrion’s pan-European marketing authorization for subcutaneous biosimilar infliximab, which now covers indications for IBD and ankylosing spondylitis.

Celltrion has received a positive opinion from the CHMP for five additional indications for its Remsima SC biosimilar, expanding the scope of the subcutaneous infliximab product that was launched earlier this year.

As Celltrion Healthcare prepares to roll out Remsima SC, its subcutaneous infliximab, in Europe – starting in the UK and Germany – Celltrion Healthcare’s UK commercial head, Matthew Eddleston, speaks to Generics Bulletin about how the innovative biosimilar will be positioned in the market.
