Transcript
How can different stakeholders work together to ensure improved biosimilar utilization across disease states?
Haumschild: I think that’s one of the things that we want to continue to expand upon. How do we get good biosimilar use in oncology, but then good biosimilar use in the immunology disease states, such as rheumatology and gastroenterology? And believe it or not, there’s different uptakes between the different disease states. If we’re using biosimilars and we’re extrapolating data to treat patients in the curative intent, how can we not extrapolate data from gastroenterology to rheumatology, and then start to look at interchangeability?
There’s going to be a never-ending appetite for data, and that’s okay because we’re data driven. How can we leverage the experiences we’ve had and the similar outcomes between reference projects and biologics, and move that into the biosimilar space, so that we can make more timely approvals? Not just wait for every single study and every single patient. And also look at switching immunogenicity and feel comfortable moving forward biosimilars across the board.
