1. About EG1206A (pertuzumab biosimilar)

EG1206A is a biosimilar drug of the second-generation HER2-positive antibody drug Perjeta® (pertuzumab). The clinical combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab has a synergistic effect in the treatment of early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer. Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer account for approximately 20-30% of new breast cancer cases per year. The dual-drug therapy can help to prolong the survival period of breast cancer patients and is a standard treatment strategy recommended by many international treatment guidelines. According to 2022 sales data by Roche (developer of the originator drug Perjeta®), global sales of Perjeta® (pertuzumab) reached 4.087 billion Swiss Francs (4.56 billion U.S. Dollars). By the time the patent of Perjeta® expires in 2026, it is expected that global sales will reach 6 billion U.S Dollars (approx. 180 billion New Taiwan Dollars). In 2021, Taiwan's National Health Insurance paid 1.02 billion New Taiwan Dollars for Perjeta® (pertuzumab) products. EirGenix's EG1206A currently ranks amongst the top globally for most advanced developments of pertuzumab biosimilars. Once EirGenix's products are launched onto the market, HER2-positive breast cancer patients will be provided with more accessible and affordable treatment options.
