Indian firm Natco Pharma has signed an agreement with Mabxience, a unit of Swiss-based Chemo Sa Lugano, to purchase four mAb drug substances from Chemo and use them to manufacture finished dosage pharmaceutical formulations.
Three of the four products – Trastuzumab, Bevacizumab, and Rituximab – belong to the oncology segment, while Etanercept is used to treat autoimmune diseases.

Natco expects to complete the initiative in two or three years.
