Here are the top 5 biosimilar articles for the week of August 7th, 2023.

Number 5: Sarfaraz K. Niazi, PhD, gave an overview of the global biosimilar landscape, noting why some countries have biosimilars, including follow-on biologics and unbranded biologics, for certain products and why others do not.

Number 4: A link was suggested between antidrug antibodies and nonresponse to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Number 3: Between the launch of 7 adalimumab biosimilars, the release of several market trend reports, and clinical trial results on often ignored disease states, July was a very big month for immunology biosimilars.

Number 2: Samsung Bioepis and Organon released results from an interchangeability study of its adalimumab biosimilar; Express Scripts announced that it will add Cyltezo as well as 2 other adalimumab biosimilars to its formulary list; Anser Therapeutics will offer therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for Idacio.

Number 1: Despite global sales for Amjevita (adalimumab-atto) growing by 29% year-over-year and the agent being the first adalimumab biosimilar on the US market, sales in the United States dropped 63% from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2023.
