The Top 5 Biosimilar Articles for the Week of December 11
Here are the top 5 biosimilar articles for the week of December 11, 2023.
Number 5: Brian Biehn, senior director of biosimilar commercialization at Cencora, formerly known as AmerisourceBergen, recaps some of the major regulatory updates for biosimilars in the United States and makes predictions for how the market will develop in the years to come.
Number 4: After Humira’s patent expired in 2018 in the European Union (EU) and earlier this year in the US, 10 adalimumab biosimilars entered the market in the EU and 8 entered the market in the US. A review article discussed the characteristics of the available biosimilars to help clinicians navigate the various options with their patients.
Number 3: A study confirmed the effectiveness and safety of GP2017 in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who were naïve to adalimumab or switched from the originator (Humira) or another adalimumab biosimilar.
Number 2: A simulation study estimated the impact of biosimilar substitution on total cost of care (TCOC) and provider financial performance in the final performance period of the Oncology Care Model.
Number 1: A report from IQVIA noted that Europe could miss out on €15 billion in cost savings by not having biosimilars for medications about to lose market exclusivity, shedding light on the implications for overall health care savings and ultimately, patient access.

Comparable Disease Activity, Drug Persistence in Patients With JIA Who Switch to Biosimilars
September 12th 2024Switching children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) from anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) originators to biosimilars showed similar disease activity and drug persistence, with good tolerability, supporting the safety and effectiveness of non-medical switching.
Biosimilars in America: Overcoming Barriers and Maximizing Impact
July 21st 2024Join us as we explore the complexities of the US biosimilars market, discussing legislative influences, payer and provider adoption factors, and strategies to overcome industry challenges with expert insights from Kyle Noonan, PharmD, MS, value & access strategy manager at Cencora.
Survey of Clinicians: Lower Cost of Biosimilars Is the Main Driver of Treatment Choice in IBD
September 7th 2024Researchers surveyed clinicians from 63 countries and found that adalimumab and infliximab biosimilars, primarily chosen for their lower cost, are widely available and have improved access to biologic treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Switching From Originator Etanercept to Biosimilar Version Proves Safe, Effective in RA
September 5th 2024Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who switched from the etanercept originator to a biosimilar exhibited similar disease activity and drug persistence compared with those who remained on the originator, indicating that nonmedical switching does not negatively impact treatment outcomes.
