We sat down with Jonathan Sweeting, head of Samsung Bioepis’ European business, to discuss the steps leading up to the European approval of Aybintio and what the current bevacizumab market in Europe looks like.
In August, Samsung Bioepis, a biopharmaceutical manufacturer based in the Republic of Korea, received European Commission (EC) marketing authorization for its bevacizumab biosimilar, Aybintio.
