Ranbaxy enters into licensing pact with EPIRUS Switzerland


New Delhi January 10, 2014: Ranbaxy Laboratories on Thursday inked a licensing pact with EPIRUS Switzerland GmbH for BOW015, a biosimilar version of Infliximab prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA).


EPIRUS Switzerland GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boston-based Epirus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
