EirGenix, Inc.
- 2019/06/18に台湾市場に上場(株式公開)しました source
台湾のBiologics CDMOで、最も技術力のあるCDMOの1つで、且つ、バイオテクノロジー企業です。
- Employee : 182
その理由として例えば、以下の開発力から分かります。
biosimilar開発
trastuzumabは、中外製薬がオリジナルで、ハーセプチンという製品名です。Sandoz からの委託契約でtrastuzumabのbiosimilarをin houseで開発しています。2019/4現在、世界11カ国でPhase IIIが実施されています。Sandozとの契約では、Sandozは、中国、台湾を除く全てのグローバル市場において、EirGenixのEG12014の独占的な商業的権利を所得しました。2019/6には、EirGenixは、この契約の成功報酬として$500万を受け取っています。
現時点での「trastuzumab」のbiosimilar
Sandozは、以下のtrastuzumabのBiosimilar競争に参画しようとしている訳です。
- セルトリオン・ヘルスケア・ジャパン
- pfizer
- 日本化薬
- 第一三共
