Teva Expands European biosimilars portfolio with launch of AHZANTIVE® (aflibercept) biosimilar to Eylea®

The launch of AHZANTIVE pre-filled syringes began in May 2026 across several European markets, including France, Germany, Spain, and The Netherlands.  The launch supports broader availability of biosimilar treatment options for patients living with serious retinal diseases and provides healthcare professionals with additional high-quality therapeutic choices. Teva expects to launch in additional markets later this year. The launch follows Teva’s semi-exclusive commercialization agreement with Klinge Biopharma GmbH and Formycon AG in major parts of Europe and Israel.  

AHZANTIVE is a biosimilar to Eylea^® (aflibercept), with comparable efficacy, safety and immunogenicity to the reference product. It received European Commission approval in 2025 for the treatment of Neovascular Age-Related ('wet') Macular Degeneration (nAMD) and other serious retinal diseases such as Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), visual impairment due to Myopic Choroidal Neovascularisation (CNV) and Macular Edema following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO). These chronic, vision-threatening conditions can create a significant burden for patients, caregivers and healthcare systems. 

“Biosimilars play a critical role in sustainable healthcare systems,” said Yolanda Tibbe, Global Head of Biosimilars at Teva. “With this launch, we are expanding our biosimilars portfolio with an important treatment option for people living with serious conditions that can threaten sight.” 

Teva has one of the world’s largest portfolios of biosimilars globally, with 11 biosimilars in market and 13 products in pipeline across key therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology, ophthalmology and respiratory care. The Company continues to expand its biosimilar footprint through strategic partnerships, commercial excellence and long-term commitment to improving patient access to biologic medicines.
