German drugmaker Stada Arzneimittel (SAZ: Xetra) will from now on distribute cytostatic drug Pemetrexed STADA in Germany.

The drug is used for treating locally advanced, metastasized and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is a generic  copyof the product Alimta from US pharma major Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY).

Alimta generated global sales of around $2.06 billion in 2017. In Germany, this product most recently reported annual sales of around 120 million euros ($140.5 million). In contrast to the original product, Pemetrexed STADA is supplied not in powder form, but ready-to-use as a concentrate for preparing a solution for infusion.
