Hi, I’m Jaime Rosenberg 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 August 19, 2019.

Number 5: AbbVie has gained approval for a Janus kinase inhibitor that is expected to help the company remain competitive in the immunology market after biosimilar adalimumab arrives in the United States in 2023.

Number 4: A teriparatide biosimilar has launched in Europe under the names Terrosa and Movimya.

Number 3: Researchers reported that a mandatory switch to biosimilar etanercept did not change overall healthcare utilization.

Number 2: A court has declined to halt Amgen’s sales of its biosimilar bevacizumab pending the outcome of an appeal.

Number 1: Starting on October 1, UnitedHealthcare will prefer Amgen’s anticancer biosimilars for its commercial and community plans.*
