Hi, I’m Samantha DiGrande 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 biosimilars articles for the week of April 15.

Number 5: The Community Oncology Alliance (COA) has released a position statement about biosimilars, saying it will work with stakeholders to support the acceptance of these drugs.

Number 4: A pharmacy benfit manager says that the first year of its biosimilar management program has led to strong uptake of Inflectra.

Number 3: The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review will assess rheumatoid arthritis treatments, including biosimilar infliximab.

Number 2: A 2-part proposal argues that biosimilar competition is an economically inefficient way to achieve the goal of lower prices.

Number 1: Health Canada has approved Celltrion and Teva’s biosimilar rituximab, Truxima, for both oncology and rheumatology indications.

Finally, last week, our e-newsletter asked whether you think drug makers will attempt to differentiate their biosimilars through innovation.
