I-MAK launches searchable patent database of Hepatitis C drugs
I-MAK (Initiative for Medicines Access and Knowledge) has created a searchable patent database for pegylated interferon alfa 2A and 2B (drugs used in the treatment of Hepatitis-C). The database is available here.
This database helps determine where patent barriers may exist to the legal production, exportation or importation of biosimilar versions of the currently marketed PEG interferon products Pegasys (Hoffmann La Roche) and PegIntron (Schering-Plough).
Data from the Patent Landscape Report for Pegylated Interferon Alfa 2A & 2B can be read  here: full report
