On this episode of Not So Different, we recap some of the biggest biosimilars news that happened over the past month, including updates on clinical trials for oncology biosimilars as well as a survey on whether patients were given adequate information prior to switching a biosimilar.
This week’s episode is going to be recapping some of the biggest biosimilars news that happened over the past month. Much of the month focused on biosimilars used to treat patients with different types of cancer as well as whether patients and providers are being given adequate information prior to switching patients from a reference product to a biosimilar.
