This results in an increasing demand for biologics for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. Biologics drugs function by disrupting the inflammation process that results in joint pain and destruction. These are genetically engineered drugs that are intended to interact with the immune response to reduce the damaging effects of rheumatologic disorders. For rheumatoid arthritis, these drugs particularly target proteins that are involved in joint inflammation. In some rheumatoid arthritis patients, biologics can be provided alone or along with traditional drugs to support slowing down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.

Recent Strategic Initiatives in the Asia-Pacific Biologics Market

  • In November 2019, China’s Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd. gained regulatory approval for its AbbVie Inc’s blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis therapy Humira, which paves the way for the first such biosimilar to enter the world’s second-largest drug market. It has been approved to treat three autoimmune diseases, which include plaque psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. The approval of this drug will offer a new affordable treatment alternative for patients in China suffering from several kinds of autoimmune diseases. 
  • In April 2019, Intas Pharmaceuticals declared the introduction of a ‘similar biologic’ of trastuzumab named Eleftha in India. This new drug claims that it will reduce the cost of breast cancer therapy by approximately 65%. It is a similar biologic of Herceptin (trastuzumab), Roche’s blockbuster breast cancer drug approved by the US FDA in September 1998 and by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in August 2000. Herceptin is aimed to treat breast and gastric cancers.
