Alvotech Holdings S.A. has entered into a settlement agreement with AbbVie Inc (NYSE:ABBV), allowing Alvotech to market AVT02 (100 mg/mL), its high-concentration, citrate-free biosimilar adalimumab that references Humira, in the U.S.

  • The settlement fully resolves all pending U.S. disputes between the two companies related to the adalimumab biosimilar, including the International Trade Commission (ITC) case filed in December 2021. AbbVie alleged that Alvotech developed AVT02 through the theft of trade secrets.

  • Viatris Inc (NASDAQ:VTRS) and Fujifilm Kyowa Kirin’s Hulio and Coherus Biosciences Inc’s (NASDAQ:CHRS) Yusimry are also anticipated to launch in July 2023.
  • Price Action: ABBV shares traded 1.23% higher at $148.96 in pre-market on the last check Wednesday.
