Dr Bruce A. Feinberg: Biosimilar Labeling and Extrapolation
Bruce A. Feinberg, DO, CMO, Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions, discusses biosimilar labeling and concerns with extrapolation.
Transcript:
What are some considerations in the labeling of biosimilars?
The biggest consideration in biosimilar labeling is the fact of extrapolation. Extrapolation relates to the fact that a biosimilar that may have a half-dozen specific disease indications, will likely only be clinically tested in 1 of those indications. If it is proven to be equivalent by all the different measures the FDA is using, then the FDA appears to be granting, by extrapolation, the expanded label to all indications. So, there is a big difference from a branded drug, which had to have clinical trials in each of the 6, to a biosimilar which is only going to have a clinical trial done in 1 of the 6.
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?
Similar Survival, Safety for Bevacizumab Biosimilar vs Originator in Colorectal Cancer
February 8th 2025A retrospective observational study found no significant differences in progression-free survival or safety in patients with colorectal cancers in Japan treated with ABP 215, Amgen’s bevacizumab biosimilar, or reference bevacizumab (Avastin), and estimated cost savings of 800,000 Japanese yen (approximately $5100) per patient with the biosimilar.

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.
