"Not So Different": Are We Ready for Biosimilar Rituximab in the United States?
It’s widely expected that the United States will see launches of one or both of the FDA-approved rituximab biosimilars, Ruxience and Truxima, in the coming months, but just how ready is the United States to bring these products to the clinic, especially given the fact that subcutaneously administered reference rituximab has taken on such a key place in clinical practice, and given the fact that both biosimilars have so-called “skinny labels” because of issues related to intellectual property and exclusivities?

Over the past year, we’ve had the opportunity to explore these questions and more with a variety of experts in the oncology field. This time on the podcast, we’re rounding up some of the key insights they’ve shared.

No Differences in Long-Term Drug Survival Between Biosimilar, Originator TNF Inhibitors
August 15th 2024An analysis of subcutaneous biosimilar and originator tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors for rheumatic diseases found no significant differences in survival or discontinuation rates due to inefficacy or adverse events, with biosimilars showing lower overall discontinuation rates and higher retention rates.
AI and Biosimilars: Bridging Global Health Disparities and Enhancing Treatment Efficiency
August 10th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can support global health systems in integrating biosimilars into care models, reducing health care costs, enhancing treatment decision-making strategies, and narrowing the gap between high-income and low- and middle-income countries.
