Formycon and Teva Join Forces on Ustekinumab Biosimilar in Germany

Jun 26, 2025

On 26 June 2025, Formycon announced that it has entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Teva Group’s subsidiary, Ratiopharm GmbH, to commercialise FYB202/Fymskina®, biosimilar to J&J/Janssen’s Stelara® (ustekinumab), in Germany.  German launch of Fymskina® is planned for Q3 2025.

Under the agreement, which follows the European Commission’s approval of Fymskina®/FYB202 in September 2024, Formycon is responsible for manufacture and supply, and Ratiopharm is responsible for commercialisation.

Formycon entered into a global commercialisation partnership for FYB202 with Fresenius Kabi in February 2023, in which Formycon retained secondary commercialisation rights for Germany, parts of Latin America, and the MENA region.  Pursuant to the global commercialisation agreement, Formycon and Fresenius Kabi launched FYB202 (marketed as Otulfi®) in Canada in May 2025 and in the US in March 2025 (securing US interchangeability for FYB202 in May 2025).  Formycon also separately entered into a licence/supply agreement with MS Pharma for countries in the MENA region in December 2024.
