Indian drugmaker Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE: RDY) has entered into a collaboration for biosimilar products with TR-Pharm, a Turkish pharma start-up.

A total of three products will be registered and subsequently commercialized as a part of this agreement by TR-Pharm in Turkey. TR-Pharm will also manufacture the drug substance and drug product upon completion of its facility investment.

TR-Pharm general manager Mehmet Goker commented: “Biosimilars are a key component of our investment strategy in Turkey to establish biotechnological API [active pharmaceutical ingredients] production for national use and regional exports. This agreement will not only enable more affordable medication but also support our research and development initiatives by building expertise within the country. We are pleased to have already started laying out the groundwork for manufacturing with Dr Reddy’s for high quality biosimilar products.”
