Executive Summary
Thirty-month stay resulting from Sanofi’s patent lawsuit expires on 18 March 2020, two days before Mylan’s application must receive final approval to avoid getting caught in the transition of insulins from drug to biologic regulation. Pre-approval inspection of Biocon’s manufacturing facility resulted in 12 ‘largely procedural’ observations, company says.
