Shares of IPCA Labs were up 1.5% at Rs 800 after the company late Monday announced a partnership with US-based Oncobiologics.

The two-part alliance is for the development, manufacture and commercialisation of biosimilar monoclonal antibody products, IPCA Labs said in a release to the stock exchanges.

Under the first part of the agreement, IPCA will in-license and commercialise biosimilar products for India and associated markets. These products will be developed by Oncobiologics to US FDA and EU regulatory standards for global commercialisation.
