Samsung Bioepis announces that the EC has granted marketing authorisation for Aybintio®, biosimilar bevacizumab (Avastin®) with a full indication set. EMA accepted Samsung’s application on 19 July 2019, and CHMP positive opinion was granted on 26 June 2020. This is Samsung’s 5th approved EU biosimilar, and the 3rd approved biosimilar to bevacizumab (following the approval of Amgen/Allergan’s Mvasti® in January 2018 and Pfizer’s Zirabev® in December 2018). Centus Biotherapeutics’ application for Equidacent® follows Samsung’s closely, having received CHMP positive opinion in July 2020.
