STADA and Alvotech have launched Uzpruvo®, the first approved biosimilar to Stelara® in Europe, across a majority of European countries. This includes the largest markets in the region, where pricing and reimbursement approvals have been secured for market entry. The pioneering launch comes immediately upon expiry of exclusivity rights linked to the European reference molecule patent, offering patients, physicians and payers expanded access at the earliest possible opportunity to a life-altering medicine used in certain indications within gastroenterology1, dermatology and rheumatology. Launches in further European countries are scheduled over the coming months, following national price approvals, via a fully European supply chain.
