Kabi Awaits Biosimilar Tocilizumab Boost, Upgrades 2024 Guidance

Follows Recent US Launch And Increasing European Roll Out, ‘Very Confident’

Fresenius Kabi enjoyed a good start to 2024, boosted by the recent US launch of its biosimilar tocilizumab product and a key licensing agreement signed with Teva – factors that have allowed the German generics and biosimilars giant to boost its financial guidance for 2024.

Fresenius Kabi believes “everything is working according to plan” following its recent launch of the first US biosimilar Actemra (tocilizumab), its Tyenne (tocilizumab-aazg) intravenous formulation, and says it has been “working very hard on access,” although the German firm concedes that the financial benefits will be muted for a couple of quarters.
