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.

How AI Can Help Address Cost-Related Nonadherence to Biologic, Biosimilar Treatment
March 9th 2025Despite saving billions, biosimilars still account for only a small share of the biologics market—what's standing in the way of broader adoption and how can artificial intelligence (AI) help change that?
Biosimilar Approvals Streamlined With Advanced Statistics Amidst Differing Regulatory Requirements
February 25th 2025The FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) mandate high similarity between biosimilars and reference products, but their regulatory processes differ, especially with multiple reference products.
Biosimilars in Action: Market Shifts, Legal Insights, and FDA Approvals
February 9th 2025In this episode of Not So Different, host Skylar Jeremias covers the latest biosimilar developments, including new FDA approvals, patent disputes, and biosimilar market trends shaping the health care landscape.
CHMP Pushes 3 Biosimilars Forward, Spelling Hope for Ophthalmology, Supportive Care Markets
February 6th 2025The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommended 3 biosimilars and new indications for reference biologics, moving them closer to final European approval and expanding patient access.
The Biosimilar Void: 90% of Biologics Coming Off Patent Will Lack Biosimilars
February 5th 2025Of the 118 biologics losing exclusivity over the next decade, only 10% have biosimilars in development, meaning a vast majority of biologics have no pipeline, which limits savings potential for the health care system.
