Lee Schwartzberg, MD, FACP: Lessons Learned From Supportive Care Biosimilars
Lee Schwartzberg, MD, FACP, executive director, West Cancer Center, discusses what oncologists have learned from experience with supportive care that can be applied to adopting anticancer biosimilars.
Transcript
We've been using supportive care biosimilars for a couple of years now; the supportive care drugs tend to be slotted in a little different way in some practices. They're chosen at the practice level rather than at the regimen level, so that they're organized to go into different categories of regimens rather than individual regimens.
Of course, physicians pick the regimens with therapeutics, so a little different, they're a little different slant. But again, the comfort with using the supportive care regimens, the principles are the same. You have a drug, you've manufactured a drug that's highly similar, that's going to work the same, whether it's in supportive care or therapeutic. If you trust that, you can use it.
Global Biosimilar Market Projected to Reach $1.3 Trillion by 2032
April 11th 2024The global biosimilar market is projected to surge from $25.1 billion in 2022 to approximately $1.3 trillion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.6%, driven mainly by the increasing prevalence of cancer and the cost-effectiveness of biosimilars, as outlined in a report by Towards Healthcare.
Decoding the Patent Puzzle: Navigating the Legal Landscape of Biosimilars
March 17th 2024On this episode of Not So Different, Ha Kung Wong, JD, an intellectual patent attorney and partner at Venable LLP, details the confusing landscape that is the US patent system and how it can be improved to help companies overcome barriers to biosimilar competition.
Study: More Biosimilar Competition Is Not Lowering Patient OOP Costs
March 29th 2024Despite more biosimilars entering the market and generating significant savings for payers and health care systems, these savings are not resulting in lower out-of-pocket (OOP) costs for patients, according to a recent study.
Exploring the Biosimilar Horizon: Julie Reed's Predictions for 2024
February 18th 2024On this episode of Not So Different, Julie Reed, executive director of the Biosimilars Forum, returns to discuss her predictions for the biosimilar industry for 2024 and beyond as well as the impact that the Forum's 4 new members will have on the organization's mission.
Filgrastim Biosimilars in Europe: 15 Years of Real-World Evidence for Zarxio
March 13th 2024A review looking back at the last 15 years of experience with the first filgrastim biosimilar (Zarxio) provides a detailed overview on how filgrastim biosimilars came to be and the evidence behind why oncologists have come to accept them as standard practice.
