The biosimilar Zarxio is one of the therapies marketed by Sandoz, with which FCB is working. 

A number of creative and media agencies won key pharmaceutical accounts in August, according to global marketing consultancy R3 Worldwide. 

In the U.S. and globally, BBDO was the leader in overall account wins across all sectors. The network’s major pharmaceutical win was for Amgen’s Neulasta, a bone-marrow stimulant prescribed to cancer patients. 

The assignments also included several stemming from GlaxoSmithKline’s recent review of its agencies.
