NOTIFICATION TO STOCK EXCHANGE
COMPANY STATEMENT
Biocon Secures Market Entry for Yesintek™, a Proposed
Biosimilar to Stelara®, in Additional Global Markets
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, October 26, 2026
Biocon Limited (BSE code: 532523, NSE: BIOCON) has signed a license agreement with
Janssen Sciences Ireland clearing the way for the commercialization of Yesintek™, its
proposed biosimilar to Stelara® (Ustekinumab), in Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong,
Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea and Kazakhstan with immediate effect.
This milestone builds on the Company’s previously announced agreements with Janssen
that secured market entry dates for Yesintek™ in the United States, and in Europe, the
UK, Canada and Japan.
These additional market entry rights for biosimilar Ustekinumab will allow Biocon to offer
an affordable and effective treatment option for patients impacted by autoimmune
diseases in these markets.
Yesintek™ is a human interleukin-12 and -23 antagonist that disrupts IL-12 and IL-23
mediated signalling in immune mediated diseases and has been approved for the
treatment of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
The reference brand, Stelara®, had worldwide sales of $6.08 billion in 2025^.
