Here are the top 5 biosimilar articles for the week of June 14, 2021.
Hi, I’m Skylar Jeremias for The Center for Biosimilars®, your resource for clinical, regulatory, business, and policy news in the rapidly changing world of biosimilars.
Here are the top 5 biosimilar articles for the week of June 14, 2021.
Number 5: Same-day pegfilgrastim to combat febrile neutropenia in conjunction with myelosuppressive chemotherapy (CTX) is safe, investigators conclude in findings presented at the ASCO 2021 Annual Meeting.
Number 4: Investigators note a reduction in use of high-cost supportive care agents, suggesting that the value-based Oncology Care Model (OCM) is working.
Number 3: Postmarketing retrospective studies of the rituximab biosimilar (CT-P10, Truxima) demonstrate comparable safety and efficacy with the reference product for treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Number 2: In a column, officials from the Biosimilars Forum and Xcenda discuss how biosimilar competition has lowered prices of originator biologics and improved patient access.
Number 1: A Matrix Global Advisors report states that the European Union makes it far more difficult to obtain patents on biologics, reducing the likelihood of patent “thickets” that stifle competition.

How AI Can Help Address Cost-Related Nonadherence to Biologic, Biosimilar Treatment
March 9th 2025Despite saving billions, biosimilars still account for only a small share of the biologics market—what's standing in the way of broader adoption and how can artificial intelligence (AI) help change that?
Switching From Avastin to Bevacizumab-bvzr in CRC, NSCLC Can Reduce Medicare Costs
May 10th 2025Monthly savings from fully converting Medicare patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) and non-squamous metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from reference bevacizumab to bevacizumab-bvzr could fund 13,887 and 8,959 additional patient-months of treatment, respectively, according to a cost-effectiveness study.
