Results from the European Congress of Rheumatology’s annual meeting revealed that Celltrion’s Remsima SC, a subcutaneous biobetter infliximab product, produced better clinical outcomes compared with the original Remsima, an infliximab biosimilar delivered intravenously.

Investigators in the Netherlands observed that 13.7% of patients with rheumatic disease had switched back to etanercept originator at 4.4 years from baseline.

Immunogenicity was rare but concerning for patients who switched from originator rituximab to the biosimilar Riximyo, investigators reported.

Real-world clinical data compiled for patients with autoimmune disorders were presented at EULAR 2021.

Celltrion announces the launch timing for its much anticipated high-concentration formulation of adalimumab and presents trial data supporting equivalence to the reference product.

The UK results show how challenging switching to a biosimilar can be, according to patient groups.

Studies on switching and retention for adalimumab and etanercept biosimilars yielded positive data, according to abstracts presented at the EULAR 2020 Congress.

A study presented at the European League Against Rheumatism conference suggested that French rheumatologists have good knowledge of biosimilars but lack the confidence to use them.

The infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 delivered positive results in studies presented at the European League Against Rheumatism's European E-Congress of Rheumatology 2020.

Korean drug maker Celltrion Healthcare recently presented new findings from a 2-part study at the European League Against Rheumatism European Congress of Rheumatology 2019 meeting about subcutaneous biosimilar CT-P13 (Inflectra, Remsima).

A new study has found that switching among multiple biosimilar infliximab products was not associated with increased immunogenicity in patients with inflammatory diseases.

During this week’s European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, researchers from the University of Manchester reported on their findings regarding patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involved in the BSRBR-RA study who had switched from reference infliximab or reference etanercept to biosimilars.

During this week’s European League Against Rheumatism Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, researchers will present on the long-term safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the biosimilar versus the reference in an open-label extension study that involved switching between the biosimilar and the reference.

During this week’s European League Against Rheumatism European Congress of Rheumatology 2019, 2 research teams will present their contrasting findings on education and the nocebo effect.

During this week’s European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, multiple teams of researchers will present their findings on real-world evidence of the biosimilar’s efficacy and the feasibility of switching to SB4 from the reference etanercept, Enbrel.

Biosimilars featured prominently in research presented at the European League Against Rheumatism's Annual European Congress of Rheumatology. Here are 9 key takeaways from the meeting.

Rituximab has previously been shown to be effective at doses of 1000 mg in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had previously received other biologic agents. Research presented at the European League Against Rheumatism's Annual European Congress of Rheumatology demonstrates that using lower doses of biosimilar rituximab—which may provide a substantial cost savings—is also effective.

At the European League Against Rheumatism Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, researchers presented findings on 3 studies in which patients switched to a biosimilar etanercept molecule from the reference Enbrel.

During the European League Against Rheumatism’s Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, held from June 13-16 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, researchers presented findings on adalimumab biosimilars, referencing Humira.

At the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)'s Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, held from June 13-16 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, researchers reported on Biocad’s Russian-authorized biosimilar infliximab, BCD-055, and on switches to the widely approved infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 (Inflectra, Remsima).

At the European League Against Rheumatism’s Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, held from June 13-16 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the patient experience with switching to biosimilars from their reference products is a key topic among stakeholders.

During the European League Against Rheumatism’s Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, researchers published findings on the economic impacts of nonmedical switching; while 1 study found that switching to biosimilar infliximab brought down costs without sacrificing efficacy or safety, but another raised concerns about increases in overall healthcare utilization.
