Boryung Expands Anti-Cancer Portfolio in S. Korea with Eli Lily's Gemzar

Boryung Pharmaceutical has added Eli Lily's Gemzar among the anti-cancer drugs that it has rights to distribute in South Korea.

Boryung also has distribution rights to such anti-cancer drugs as Oxalitin (oxaliplatin) and Genexol (paclitaxel).

Boryung CEO Ahn Jae-hyun promised to continue growing its anti-cancer portfolio as the company's focal point.

Gemzar (gemcitabine), a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor, is mainly a pancreatic cancer treatment drug.

Combined with other drugs, Gemzar is used for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, advanced ovarian cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer.

Gemzar posted 14.2 billion won in revenue in South Korea last year.
