Revlimid generics launched in Europe by STADA and Sandoz

18 February 2022

The launch of generic versions of Bristol Myers Squibb’s (NYSE: BMY) blockbuster multiple myeloma drug Revlimid (lenalidomide) in Europe have been announced by two companies today.

First, German drugmaker STADA Arzneimittel (SAZ: Xetra) said is broadening its oncology portfolio by introducing a generic alternative to Revlimid capsules in more than a dozen European countries from February 18. Under the terms of a patent-litigation settlement, STADA is now able to offer the multiple myeloma and lymphoma treatment to oncologists and their patients in countries including France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Patients in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and Portugal are also set to benefit from generic competition to Revlimid, as are patients in Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
