Teva will commercialize etanercept-ykro (Eticovo) and infliximab-abda, adding 2 TNF inhibitor biosimilars to US options for inflammatory diseases.
In the Phase 2a INFORM-MS trial, Tiziana’s nasal foralumab reduced microglial activation on PET imaging at 50 µg in non-active secondary progressive MS, while the 100-µg dose showed no significant effect.
The deal adds five US sites and about 1,100 employees, more than doubling Lonza’s US network and filling a gap in US bioconjugation capacity the company flagged weeks earlier.
