UCB SA could potentially launch up to seven products by 2025 as it advances late-clinical stage programmes in epilepsy and psoriasis and looks ahead to the acquisition of Ra Pharma Inc, a US company with a product for myasthenia gravis in Phase 3 development.
The Belgian pharma gave the forecast with the release of its 2019 results on 20 February which showed revenue of €4.9 billion, up by 6% from a year earlier. The company’s core products Cimzia and Vimpat had sales of €1.7 billion and €1.3 billion respectively, both showing double-digit increases from the previous year.
