Biocon (NSE:BIOCON, BOM:532523) has partnered with the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) to launch a Patient Assistance Program (PAP), according to an Indian bourse filing on Tuesday.
The program aims at improving access to affordable, high-quality biosimilars for underserved cancer patients, the filing said.
Under the initiative, Biocon will supply oncology biosimilars such as Trastuzumab, Pegfilgrastim, and Bevacizumab, while NCSM will manage patient enrolment and distribution.
The program will begin by offering Trastuzumab to patients experiencing treatment delays due to financial constraints.
