Webinar: How Biosimilar Rebates Shape Payer Policies, Provider Behavior

Outlook Therapeutics provides an update on the development of its bevacizumab candidate for age-related macular degeneration; Samsung Bioepis settles with Johnson & Johnson (J&J) over its ustekinumab biosimilar candidate; and the European Union gains another trastuzumab biosimilar.

Fran Gregory, PharmD, MBA, vice president of emerging therapies at Cardinal Health, examines the evolution of the oncology biosimilar space in this special episode of Not So Different to close out Global Biosimilars Week 2023.

As new biosimilars are added to CVS Caremark’s standard formulary, others are removed. One notable change is with the Humira biosimilars: the pharmacy benefit manager has removed Amjevita in favor of Hyrimoz and an unbranded biosimilar.

On this episode, we discuss the biggest news to come out of October 2023, including 3 regulatory approvals, 2 complete response letters, and new data and industry insights that have the potential to impact the entire US biosimilar industry.
