Number 3: Two studies recently reported on Hulio, the adalimumab biosimilar marketed and developed by Mylan and its partner Fujifilm Kyowa Kirin Biologics, saying it is equivalent to AbbVie’s reference adalimumab, sold as Humira.
Number 2: In the United States, recent analyses show that biosimilars achieved just 9%, or $91 million, of the $1 billion in cost savings that the Congressional Budget Office projected 10 years ago.
Number 1: An article in JAMA raises concerns that special and accelerated drug approval programs at the FDA may have resulted in a process that approves drugs based on weaker data, without reducing overall drug development time.
