The Center for Biosimilars® recaps the top news for the week of September 3, 2018.

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 September 3.

Number 5: A newly published study in pediatric patients with Crohn disease found that infliximab improved clinical outcome measures from week 2 to week 56.

Number 4: New Zealand’s cost control agency has proposed to stop funding Janssen’s epoetin alfa in favor of funding Novartis’ biosimilar.

Number 3: New research shows that patients may be paying more out of pocket for biosimilar infliximab, and that the advent of biosimilar filgrastim has not expanded access.

Number 2: Celltrion is asking the United Kingdom to lower its threshold to provide access to biologic drugs for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Number 1: The FDA heard from 27 speakers, from across the spectrum of stakeholders, at its public hearing on the Biosimilar Action Plan.

Finally, last week, our e-newsletter asked whether you think that the FDA should do away with its current guidance on biosimilar suffixes.
