Growth Challenges
- Enbrel (etanercept): Sales declined by 34% YOY to USD 604 million due to price reductions linked to the US Medicare Part D redesign.
- Denosumab Biosimilar Impact: Sales of Prolia decreased by 4% to USD 1.1 billion, and Xgeva by 5% to USD 532 million. Further erosion is anticipated in the second half of the year with three biosimilars now on the market.-Fineline Info & Tech
