Sunshine Biopharma's Nora Pharma Receives Health Canada Approval for Niopeg(R), a Biosimilar of Neulasta(R)

By: ACCESSWIRE

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 19, 2024 / Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ: SBFM), a pharmaceutical company offering and researching life-saving medicines in a variety of therapeutic areas including oncology and antivirals, is happy to announce that its wholly owned generic pharmaceutical subsidiary, Nora Pharma, has received approval for its first Biosimilar product.

Nora Pharma has received approval from Health Canada for the commercialization of NIOPEG® (a pegylated form of filgrastim) in Canada. The current market size of pegfilgrastim in Canada is approximately $88 million USD.

NIOPEG® is a Biosimilar comparable to the reference biologic drug NEULASTA® (pegfilgrastim). NIOPEG® is a long-acting form of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (r-HuG-CSF), or filgrastim. It is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-neoplastic drugs. NIOPEG® is available in a pre-filled syringe of 6 mg/0.6 mL.

"With this product, we demonstrate to the Canadian market our determination to be a leader in the pharmaceutical sector," said Malek Chamoun, president of Nora Pharma. "This is an important milestone for our mission of bringing high quality affordable medicines to patients across Canada," he added.

"NIOPEG® is used to help prevent infection in people with non-myeloid cancers who are receiving chemotherapy. An example of a non-myeloid cancer is breast cancer," said Dr. Steve Slilaty, CEO of Sunshine Biopharma. "We are committed to bringing continued value to our shareholders, and launching NIOPEG® is one of the ways we are doing that as we move closer and closer to profitability," he continued.

About Sunshine Biopharma Inc.

Sunshine Biopharma, through its subsidiary Nora Pharma Inc., has 52 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada. The Company is planning to expand its product offering to a total of 60 generic prescription drugs by the end of 2024. In parallel, Sunshine Biopharma is continuing its proprietary drug development program which is comprised of (i) K1.1 mRNA for liver cancer, and (ii) PLpro protease inhibitor for SARS Coronavirus infections.
