India's Biocon developing its own version of Wegovy, clinical trial likely next year

reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/indias-biocon-developing-its-own-version-wegovy-clinical-trial-likely-next-year-2024-04-18/

Quick Glance: Biocon Developing Own Version of Wegovy, Plans Clinical Trial

Indian pharmaceutical company Biocon is working on developing its own version of Novo Nordisk's popular Wegovy and is likely to conduct a clinical trial next year to enter the growing weight-loss drug market.

Biocon's CEO, Siddharth Mittal, has expressed the company's intention to develop semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, for the Indian market, even if it requires a clinical trial.

Biocon aims to introduce generic versions of weight-loss drugs in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia before the patent for semaglutide expires in those countries in 2026.

The company is striving to obtain a waiver on clinical trials from Indian regulators and submit bioequivalence studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their version of semaglutide. Biocon is making significant investments in generics research and development, including peptides for weight-loss drugs.

Quick Glance: Arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Raises Concern Ahead of Indian Elections

When Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in March for an alleged liquor scam by the Enforcement Directorate, it marked the latest incident in a long list of legal offensives against opposition leaders ahead of the Indian general elections.

Surveys indicate the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ahead, but concerns over unemployment and inflation could boost the opposition.

Opposition parties in India, critical of Modi, see recent developments as a government attempt to use central agencies to pressure political opponents.

Kejriwal's arrest could pave the way in Delhi for President's Rule, leading to the dissolution of the AAP-led government with the BJP taking control of the state.

Quick Glance: Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries

Nestlé adds sugar and honey to infant milk and cereal products in poorer countries, contradicting international guidelines.

Public Eye's investigation revealed that products like Nido and Cerelac contain added sugar in many countries, while this is not the case in European markets.

The World Health Organization warns of rising childhood obesity in poorer countries and emphasizes no added sugars for children under three years old.

Nestlé defends the quality of its products but states that recipes vary based on regulation and local ingredient availability.
