Number 3: A newly published systematic review investigated the safety and efficacy of switching between reference and biosimilar infliximab in patients with inflammatory disorders.
Number 2: Given the high cost of biologics that treat pediatric inflammatory bowel disease, biosimilars are emerging as an important cost-saving option that can prevent the premature termination of biologic therapy for financial reasons.
Number 1: Genentech recently filed a motion in a US district court seeking an injunction to block JHL Biotech from making and selling potential biosimilars after former Genentech employees were charged with conspiring to steal trade secrets.
