The biosimilar industry faces awareness challenges among health care professionals (HCPs), which must be addressed to increase cost savings and patient access to treatments.

Real-world study reveals comparable effectiveness of bevacizumab biosimilars and Avastin in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), boosting clinician confidence.

Switching from reference infliximab to biosimilars (infliximab-abda and infliximab-dyyb) for rheumatic diseases may lead to treatment delays and a higher risk of disease flares, particularly when the switch is mandated by insurance.

Patent settlements accelerate the entry of generics and biosimilars, saving the health care system $422.9 billion and enhancing drug accessibility.

FDA approvals for new biosimilars like Starjemza and Hadlima enhance treatment options, addressing urgent needs for affordability and policy reform.

The FDA designates 2 biosimilars as interchangeable, enhancing access to treatments for inflammatory diseases and multiple sclerosis, while 2 other companies expand their biosimilar partnership to include more products.

Despite a dramatic shift toward biosimilar use following British Columbia’s policy, researchers found no rise in hospital visits or complications, underscoring the real-world reliability of etanercept biosimilars in managing inflammatory arthritis.

Starjemza gains FDA approval as the eighth ustekinumab biosimilar, enhancing treatment options for rheumatic and gastrointestinal conditions.

There's a need for early anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with new data showing that biosimilars can address cost barriers and enhance patient access and outcomes.

Dose escalations were more frequent with ustekinumab in patients with psoriasis compared with adalimumab and etanercept, highlighting varied outcomes for dose optimization in psoriasis management.

Despite the clear promise of cost savings and expanded access, the path to integrating generics and biosimilars across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is tangled in a web of distrust, inconsistent policies, and deep-rooted cultural preferences for branded drugs.

Eculizumab biosimilars could provide European patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome better access to care for a better price, similar to successes seen in other biosimilar markets, according to a review.

While the Trump administration’s latest executive order touts sweeping drug price cuts through international benchmarking, the broader pharmaceutical pricing crisis in the US reveals a far more complex web of development costs, profit incentives, and absent price controls—raising the question of whether any single policy, including potential drug tariffs, can truly untangle it.
