[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Prestige BioPharma has been soaring for two consecutive trading days following the announcement of the equivalence proof of 'HD201,' a biosimilar of the breast cancer treatment drug 'Herceptin.'


As of 9:20 AM on the 25th, Prestige BioPharma is trading at 19,400 KRW, up 6.01% compared to the previous trading day.


On the previous day, Prestige BioPharma announced that the equivalence with 'Herceptin' was proven along with the Phase 3 clinical trial results of HD201. Prestige BioPharma stated, "Currently, the product approval review is underway at the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Canadian Food and Drug Agency, and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety," adding, "After EMA product approval, we plan to enter the European market first."



As the launch of the biosimilar becomes more visible, expectations that it will positively impact performance are interpreted as driving the stock price upward.
