Zydus Lifesciences Ltd announced on Thursday that its subsidiary has signed an exclusive licensing and supply agreement with Netherlands-based Synthon BV to introduce a generic version of Ozanimod capsules in the United States for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).

The drug is the generic equivalent of ZEPOSIA, a therapy used in managing various relapsing MS conditions. The agreement was disclosed through a regulatory filing.

As per the arrangement, Synthon BV will take on the responsibility for securing final regulatory approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), followed by the manufacture and supply of the capsules. Zydus, through its US subsidiary, will oversee commercialisation across the American market.

“This collaboration with Synthon enables us to bring this important treatment to the US market,” said Punit Patel, President and CEO of Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.

The total addressable market for Ozanimod capsules in the US is estimated at USD 637 million (approximately Rs 53.1 billion), according to IQVIA MAT data as of July 2025.

This strategic move strengthens Zydus Lifesciences’ presence in the neurology space and further expands its portfolio of complex generics in the US pharmaceutical market.
