Biocon (NSE:BION) Biologics Ltd (BBL), a subsidiary of Biocon Limited, has secured a major regulatory milestone with the European Commission (EC) granting marketing authorization for YESINTEK®, a biosimilar of Ustekinumab. This approval positions Biocon Biologics for deeper penetration into the European biosimilars market, strengthening its competitive edge in the global pharmaceutical space.

YESINTEK® is designed for treating adults and children suffering from plaque psoriasis, as well as adults with psoriatic arthritis or Crohn’s disease. Clinical trial data confirm that Biocon’s biosimilar exhibits comparable safety and efficacy to the original product.

This regulatory green light follows the positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) on December 14, 2024. The EC approval enables Biocon Biologics to commercialize YESINTEK® across the European Union, opening doors to a multi-billion-dollar market in autoimmune therapies.
