Marcus H. Snow, MD, Assistant Professor of Rheumatology, University of Nebraska, discusses the use of biosimilar treatments in children.
Transcript:
Are there special considerations when using biosimilars in children?
Generally, no. Ultimately, in the pediatric realm, we end up having a lot of extrapolation of data and the biosimilars with the pediatric population should not be; ideally, this would be studied as much as it is in the adult world, but we just do not have that as often.

Adalimumab Biosimilar Maintains Effectiveness for Patients With Arthritis and Health Care Costs
August 2nd 2025Patients with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis maintained stable disease activity and functional capacity, with even some improvement in ultrasound findings, after switching from original adalimumab to its biosimilar, GP2017.
How AI Can Help Address Cost-Related Nonadherence to Biologic, Biosimilar Treatment
August 2nd 2025Despite saving billions, biosimilars still account for only a small share of the biologics market—what's standing in the way of broader adoption and how can artificial intelligence (AI) help change that?
