Lupin partners with Sandoz for launch and commercialization of ranibizumab across global markets

Lupin today announced that it has partnered with Sandoz Group AG (Sandoz), Switzerland, to market and commercialize Lupin's biosimilar ranibizumab across multiple regions.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sandoz will oversee commercialization of the product across the European Union (excluding Germany), Switzerland, Norway, Australia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Lupin will be responsible for manufacturing the product and for regulatory submissions. Sandoz will hold exclusive marketing rights in most of the designated markets, except for France, Australia, Vietnam, and Malaysia, where it will have semi-exclusive marketing rights. Pursuant to another agreement executed between the two companies, Sandoz will acquire sole rights for commercialization of Lupin's biosimilar ranibizumab in Canada, while Lupin will manage its manufacture and regulatory filings.
Ranibizumab is a recombinant humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody fragment that binds to and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Its indications encompass the treatment of patients with Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO), Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR), and Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV).

AMD CEO Lisa Su's response to ‘Will AI Take Jobs?' is the best yet

AMD CEO Lisa Su has dismissed fears that artificial intelligence (AI) will result in widespread job losses. Contrary to warnings from some tech leaders about AI displacing entry-level roles, Su, who leads the nearly $300 billion US chip manufacturer, believes that AI will complement human work rather than replace it. In a recent interview with Wired, she addressed concerns about AI and employment, stating that people remain central to technological progress. AMD CEO Lisa Su believes AI will enhance human work and continues to hire engineers despite technological advancements.(Pexels) 'You can choose two ways to think about AI,' Su said. 'One is to hold back because it could be dangerous, or the other is to move as fast as possible while applying the right lens to the information. I am firmly in the second camp. I do not believe that we will stop needing large numbers of people. We are still hiring more and more engineers because they are the final arbiters of our engineering.' Lisa Su on the Current AI Landscape Su clarified that while she believes in the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), she does not expect AI to surpass human intelligence. She is unconcerned with doomsday scenarios and emphasised that the true value of AI depends on the people who design and guide it. According to Su, AI is not yet 'great' and is mainly limited to performing routine or menial tasks. She explained that AI has two primary directions. One is to improve productivity by automating repetitive work, allowing humans to focus on more meaningful and complex tasks. The other is solving intricate problems at a scale and speed previously unimaginable. Su illustrated this with chip design, noting that AI could reduce the time to design a chip from three years to just six months. Su compared the AI revolution to the internet and the Industrial Revolution. She believes AI is more foundational than the internet because it directly impacts productivity and problem-solving. She stated that once humanity fully harnesses AI, it will become as commonplace as the internet, and its potential should be evaluated based on what it will enable in the future rather than its current capabilities. She acknowledged that there may be challenges along the way but expressed confidence that these can be managed. On the topic of superintelligence, Su described the idea of AI enhancing human capability as an inspiring vision, noting that society is still in the early stages. She highlighted healthcare as an area with immense potential for AI-driven transformation, from drug discovery to patient care. Su believes AI could help eliminate trial-and-error processes and improve outcomes, creating a more effective and efficient healthcare system. 'I would bet on humanity being OK,' Su concluded, reaffirming her belief that AI will serve as a tool for human progress rather than a threat to employment.

AMD CEO Lisa Su believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will not lead to massive job cuts. Contrary to predictions by other tech leaders, the CEO of the nearly $300 billion US-based chip company doesn't think that AI will eat away at Gen Z's entry-level jobs. In a recent interview with Wired, while responding to the concerns about AI replacing jobs, Su noted, 'You can choose two ways to think about it. One is you try to hold back on AI because it could be dangerous, or you try to go as fast as you can, but put the right lens on the information. I'm a big believer in the second camp. I don't believe in these cases where you're not going to need lots and lots of people. Because in the end, people are the judges of what truth is. We're still hiring more and more engineers, because they're the final arbiters of our engineering.' What Lisa Su said about the AI revolution Su mentioned that she believes in AGI but not that AI will surpass human intelligence, and she isn't concerned about doomsday scenarios. She sees technology's value as dependent on the people who create and guide it, and thinks AI isn't 'great' yet. For her, AI becomes great when it can solve complicated problems. She higlighted that current AI agents mostly handle mundane tasks. 'I think there are two directions AI goes. One is pure productivity, you know, how do I remove some of, let's call it, the menial work that people do, so that they can work on more interesting things? That's one aspect of it, and we're using that. But the other aspect of it is when AI can solve really hard problems. It can take what would've taken us 10 years to figure out and do that in six months. I think about a world where it normally takes us three years to design a chip, and what does that look like if I could do that in six months?' she added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo Comparing the AI revolution with the Internet revolution, Su noted: 'The internet is not a bad comparison, but I think AI is much more than the internet. Because, if you think about it, the internet was a lot about moving traffic. AI is more about something foundational in terms of productivity. Sometimes people compare it to the Industrial Revolution , and that's not a bad comparison, actually.' She also believes that once humanity figures AI out, 'it will be like the internet is to us today, which is you just take it for granted. We shouldn't evaluate the technology based on this point in time. We should evaluate it on the slope of what we're going to be capable of doing. We're going to get these things right. But we may have a few bumps in the road.' Talking about SuperIntelligence , Su said: 'I think the idea that AI can make all of us superintelligent is a wonderful vision, and we're still in the very early innings of how to do that. One of the areas that I'm most personally passionate about is health care, because I have had experience with the health care system, and I think it should be much, much better than it is today. We should be able to cure these diseases. We shouldn't have to do trial and error like we sometimes do. This is a perfect use case for AI. Being able to stitch all those pieces together to go from drug discovery to therapeutics to inpatient care, all of that is ripe for—let's call it transformation. I don't know if you call that 'superintelligence.' 'I would bet on humanity being OK,' she assured. Goodbye, Frequent FASTag Recharges!
