The reference product, Cimzia®, is widely used for treating chronic rheumatic diseases, particularly among women of childbearing age. The agreement aims to expand access to high-quality biologics for patients in Europe and is a continuation of the strategic partnership between Alvotech and Advanz Pharma. The companies plan to launch their first biosimilars in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2025. Cimzia® achieved worldwide sales of $2.3 billion in 2024.
