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.

In an exclusive interview with Generics Bulletin, Celltrion Healthcare’s UK commercial director, Matt Eddleston, has set out the firm’s plans to roll out an antibody test and trial two antiviral treatments for COVID-19. Meanwhile, the company’s recently-launched subcutaneous version of biosimilar infliximab, Remsima SC, is helping to free up hospital space in the UK by allowing treatment to be moved out of that setting as the coronavirus pandemic progresses.

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.
