Here are the top 5 biosimilar articles for the week of May 1st, 2023.
Number 5: Samsung Bioepis shared positive 1-year results from a phase 3 trial confirming the biosimilarity between the company’s aflibercept biosimilar and the originator (Eylea) at the 2023 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Annual Meeting.
