CT-P6 is a biosimilar of the Trastuzumab monoclonal antibody that has played an important role in treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer, Early Stage Breast Cancer and Gastric Cancer with over-expression of HER2 gene. Nippon Kayaku began development of this biosimilar in November 2010 following the conclusion of a cooperation agreement with Celltrion, Inc. and Celltrion Healthcare Co., Ltd.

CT-P6 is the second monoclonal antibody biosimilar for Nippon Kayaku following Infliximab BS for I.V. Infusion 100mg 「NK」, which was marketed last year. In the field of Breast Cancer, Nippon Kayaku is currently conducting Phase 3 Clinical Trial Program for NK105. With the goal of early launch of these products, we expect to make an even greater contribution to Cancer patients, their families and medical professionals.
