Number 3: A study of pregnant patients treated with biosimilar infliximab for inflammatory bowel disease found that the biosimilar was not associated with any new safety concerns.

Number 2: CMS has released updated versions of its Drug Spending Dashboards, and data included show that prices are on the rise for drugs that have existing or upcoming biosimilar competition.
