The Center for Biosimilars® recaps the top stories for the week of December 9, 2019.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Laura Joszt 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 December 9, 2019.

Number 5: Increased spending on new oncology and autoimmune drugs was partially offset by a continued increase in the use of generics, according to a recent report from CMS.

Number 4: During this week’s 61st meeting of the American Society of Hematology, researchers reported on eculizumab, a prospective biosimilar, and a long-acting successor.

Number 3: Sanofi announced that it will stop research and development on diabetes drugs, but it will keep a proposed biosimilar of insulin aspart in its pipeline as a registration-phase molecule.

Number 2: An agreement on the United States—Mexico–Canada Agreement has been reached, and it excludes controversial terms for biologics.

Number 1: The FDA has approved Amgen’s infliximab biosimilar, Avsola, the fourth biosimilar infliximab and the 26th US biosimilar.

Finally, last week, our e-newsletter asked how great an impact you think subcutaneously administered biosimilar infliximab will have on clinical practice.
