Suzhou, China—BioDlink announced that its self-developed Bevacizumab Injection (Pusintin®) has received marketing approval from National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) of Nigeria. This significant milestone accelerates BioDlink’s global expansion efforts, and reaffirms its R&D and commercialization strength in biosimilar—offering a high-value, accessible treatment option for cancer patients worldwide.


Leveraging synergies with Kexing BioPharm, the global licensee for Pusintin® in emerging markets, Pusintin® has initiated regulatory filings in 35 countries. The approval in Nigeria not only marks the implementation of its global strategy but also signifies officially opening the door to the African market, bringing more affordable treatment alternatives to Nigerian patients.


ADDRESSING AFRICAS GROWING HEALTHCARE NEEDS

Africa, with a population exceeding 1.5 billion (World Bank, 2024), faces increasing medical demand. Nigeria, as the "most populous country in Africa" (~220 million people), possesses both massive healthcare challenge and a major growth opportunity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Nigeria reports over 120,000 new cancer cases annually, growing at a rate of 5% per year—amid limited access to high-quality therapies. Pusintin®’s approval meets this urgent medical need while serves as a model for expansion into other emerging-market.


INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MANUFACTURING & QUALITY EXCELLENCE

The approval has validated Pusintin®’s compliance complies with international standards for R&D, manufacturing, and quality system. BioDlink’s production facilities have already passed GMP inspections in China, Japan, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, and Argentina and also passed antibody drug and ADC EU QP inspection 4 times in past two years. BioDlink’s global-quality system ensures robust commercial supply, delivering more than 100 clinical projects with development, clinical filings, and manufacturing services worldwide, including European and the U.S. in the past 3 years.

This millstone marks the beginning of BioDlink's international commercial rollout, injecting new momentum into its revenue diversification strategy and reinforcing its capabilities in global biosimilar commercialization.


BioDlink operates a large-scale, GMP-compliant biologics manufacturing facility, featuring four commercial lines with five drug substance production centers (including non-toxic conjugated drug substance units) and four drug production centers. Its world-class facilities and stringent quality system deliver reliable global supply for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific antibodies, XDCs, and other biologics at global standards.


SUSTAINING GLOBAL MOMENTUM

BioDlink will continue collaborating with Kexing BioPharm to accelerate Pusintin®’s approval in Southeast Asia and Latin America.
