Soliqua is a combination of insulin glargine, a basal insulin analog, and lixisenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is indicated as treatment to improve glycemic control as an adjunct to diet and exercise, in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Participants were randomized to switch from their prior insulin to either Soliqua once daily or premixed insulin twice daily, with starting doses determined and adjusted weekly. Any metformin or SGLT-2i treatment was maintained through the study period.
Civica plans to produce three insulin biosimilars – glargine, lispro and aspart – each of which will be available both in vials and prefilled pens, and to ensure redundancy of supply, Ypsomed will provide injector dosing pens from their manufacturing facilities.
Biosimilar insulin glargine is the most significant opportunity in the company's current pipeline. Recent estimated U.S. sales of long acting insulin glargine (Glaricon) are approximately $10 billion annually, according to IQVIA, although manufacturer reported sales are less.
The first study, which the FDA reviewed, suggested that the HEC insulin glargine product would be biosimilar to US-approved Lantus® (the reference biologic) in terms of meeting the study's pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) endpoints.
Civica will produce three insulins – glargine, lispro and aspart (biologics corresponding to, and interchangeable with, Lantus, Humalog and Novolog respectively) – each of which will be available both in vials and prefilled pens.
The acquisition of biosimilars assets of Viatris significantly strengthens BBL’s position in providing affordable access to patients through its portfolio in diabetes, oncology, immunology and other non-communicable diseases including Semglee (Insulin Glargine-yfgn).
The Semglee® (insulin glargine injection), is a long-acting human insulin analog indicated to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is packaged in prefilled pens.
Decisions reaffirm Viatris' ability to provide patient access to interchangeable for the reference brand, Lantus®, allowing for substitution at the pharmacy counter. Semglee® is indicated to help control high blood sugar with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Under the terms of this agreement, Tabuk Pharmaceuticals will hold the marketing authorisation for select speciality products including Glaricon and be responsible to register, importing, and promoting them in Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries.
