Teva is the world's largest generic medicines company; its branded oncology products include omacetaxine (Synribo) for resistant chronic myeloid leukaemia, arsenic trioxide (Trisenox), bendamustine (Bendeka) and the G-CSF products Granix and Lonquex.
Teva Pharmaceuticals, based in Tel Aviv and listed as TEVA, is the world's largest generic medicines company; its branded oncology products include omacetaxine, sold as Synribo, for resistant chronic myeloid leukaemia, arsenic trioxide as Trisenox, bendamustine as Bendeka and the G-CSF products Granix and Lonquex. It acquired Cephalon in 2011, gaining Trisenox, Treanda and Synribo, and markets tbo-filgrastim as Granix in the United States and lipegfilgrastim as Lonquex in Europe, alongside the largest generic oncology injectables portfolio worldwide. OnCo links it to filgrastim, lipegfilgrastim and omacetaxine. Whether the largest generic injectables maker can keep supply steady through the recurring shortages that hit chemotherapy is the question its scale invites. Each product has its own page.
An ancient poison turned cure: with retinoic acid it cures more than 95% of acute promyelocytic leukaemia without conventional chemotherapy.
Epoetin theta is a made-to-order version of erythropoietin, the hormone that tells the marrow to make red blood cells. It is used to treat the anaemia of chemotherapy in people with non-myeloid cancers, sparing some transfusions.
Filgrastim (Neupogen and its biosimilars) is a daily injection that speeds the recovery of infection-fighting white cells after chemotherapy, lets doctors give chemotherapy on schedule and mobilises stem cells for transplant.
Lipegfilgrastim (Lonquex) is a once-per-chemotherapy-cycle white cell booster used in Europe, similar to pegfilgrastim, for adults and children from two years old.
Omacetaxine (Synribo) is a twice-daily injection under the skin for chronic myeloid leukaemia that has stopped responding to at least two tyrosine kinase inhibitor pills.
