<In my experience, biotech executives of companies whose drugs are being copied tend to overstate the manufacturing impediments. >

Agree on that. Never hear directly from REGN any comment about aflibercept manufacturing.
It is my perception, from its patent description, abs-description/production, and what is needed to have *clean-production*. REGN never have any issue from FDA in regards US-facility, recombinant protein need bit more muscle than regular Abs. However, anyone who looks on this issue should have open mind, and not take any statement from bios as granted. Botox is good example.

Typo correction: The sentence in parentheses should have said, “Lucentis is easy to manufacture, so no discussion needed about that [biosimilar] program.”
