Chong Kun Dang is offering a bargain price for its biosimilar. The company has decided to cut the price of its 'Lucen BS', a biosimilar of the macular degeneration treatment Lucentis (ranibizumab, Novartis), by half from next month.

As a result, the price difference between it and the original product, as well as it and Samsung Bioepis¡¯s biosimilar, has widened significantly.

According to the industry on the 23rd, Chong Kun Dang will voluntarily reduce the insurance price ceiling of its biosimilar 'Lucentis' by half from next month.

Accordingly, the price of Lucen BS Inj 10mg/ml and Lucen BS Prefilled Syringe will be reduced from KRW 300,000 to KRW 150,000.
