Transcript

Hi, I’m Jaime Rosenberg for The Center for Biosimilars®, your resource for clinical, regulatory, business, and policy news in the rapidly changing world of biosimilars.

Here are the top 5 biosimilars articles for the week of October 7, 2019.

Number 5: A new study reports that, for children who switch to biosimilars, factors like device type, citrates, and even color can be primary concerns.

Number 4: The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review says that brand-name adalimumab, rituximab, and pegfilgrastim, all of which have approved biosimilars, have seen substantial increases to price that have not been supported by new clinical data.

Number 3: Nevada’s Department of Health and Human Services sent letters to drug firms that did not provide required information about their costs, and it issued $17.4 million in penalties for noncompliance.

Number 2: The FDA has approved Pfenex’s follow-on teriparatide, referencing Forteo, for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Number 1: The FDA has issued a complete response letter for Tanvex’s proposed filgrastim biosimilar.

Finally, last week, our e-newsletter asked whether you think that the United States should allow external reference pricing to help reduce drug costs.
