Intas Pharmaceuticals announced Wednesday that it launched its trastuzumab biosimilar, under the brand name Eleftha, in India, reported Business Standard.
According to the company, its biosimilar breast cancer therapy could help cut down the cost of treatment by 65 percent.
The maximum retail price (MRP) of Eleftha will be Rs 19 995 for a dose strength of 440 mg, Intas stated.
The MRP of most of trastuzumab brands in India currently ranges between Rs 58 000 and Rs 63 000 per 440 mg vial, the company noted.
In patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer, almost 18 cycles of trastuzumab-based therapy are required, Intas said, adding that the launch of Eleftha will reduce the cost of the treatment to less than Rs 4 lakh.
