Generic biotech drugs likely to be on the market in the next decade, Dillon Read's Treppel predicts.
Executive Summary
GENERIC BIOTECH DRUGS LIKELY TO BE ON MARKET IN NEXT DECADE, DILLON READ analyst Jerry Treppel predicted at his firm's generic drug/delivery systems financial conference May 7 in New York City. The next wave of new ANDAs in the first decade of the 21st century will be for products coming off patent at the beginning of the decade such as EPO, tPA, IL-2 and growth factors, Treppel said in his overview of the industry. He added that bioequivalence will not be an issue with injectable generic biotech drugs; "patents, particularly process patents, will be."
