PISCATAWAY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kashiv BioSciences, LLC (\u201cKashiv\u201d), a vertically integrated biopharmaceutical company, today announced that Health Canada has validated and accepted the marketing authorization application (MAA) for ADL-018, the Company\u2019s proposed biosimilar for XOLAIR\u00ae <\/sup>(omalizumab).<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nOmalizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets free IgE, is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe persistent asthma (6 years and older patients), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) (18 years and older patients), chronic spontaneous urticaria (12 years and older patients), and IgE-mediated food allergy (>1 year and older patients).<\/p>

\n\u201cThe acceptance of this submission by Health Canada marks a key regulatory milestone for Kashiv\u2019s biosimilars portfolio,\u201d said Dr. Sandeep Athalye, Global CEO of Kashiv BioSciences<\/b>. \u201cIt reflects the strength of our development and manufacturing capabilities and brings us closer to making the omalizumab biosimilar available to patients in Canada. We remain focused and committed to expanding access to high-quality, cost-effective biologic therapies globally.\u201d<\/p>

\nAccording to IQVIA\u00ae<\/sup>, annual sales of XOLAIR\u00ae<\/sup> in Canada were approximately $135 million for the 12-month period ending June 2025.<\/p>

\nAbout ADL-018<\/b><\/p>

\nADL-018, a humanized monoclonal antibody designed to inhibit the binding of IgE to Fc\u03b5R on the surface of mast cells and basophils, is being developed as a biosimilar to XOLAIR\u00ae<\/sup> (omalizumab), an injectable prescription medicine approved to treat CSU in individuals aged 12 and older who continue to have hives uncontrolled by H1 antagonists. Omalizumab is also approved for treating moderate to severe persistent asthma in individuals aged 6 and older whose asthma symptoms are not well controlled with inhaled corticosteroids, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in individuals aged 18 and older, and IgE-mediated food allergy in adult and pediatric patients aged 1 year and older. ADL-018 matches the pharmaceutical presentations, dosage strength, route of administration, and dosing regimen of the U.S. and E.U.-approved omalizumab reference product. XOLAIR\u00ae <\/sup>is a registered trademark of Novartis AG.<\/p>

\nAlvotech partnered with Kashiv BioSciences for the development of the proposed XOLAIR\u00ae<\/sup> biosimilar for the market in the European Economic Area, UK, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.<\/p>
