Here are the top 5 biosimilars articles for the week of January 14.

Number 5: A recently published study found that shifting reimbursement of some Medicare Part B drugs to Medicare Part D could increase out-of-pocket spending for some Medicare beneficiaries.

Number 4: Two studies published earlier this month found that biosimilar infliximab, CT-P13, had positive safety and efficacy data when switching patients with inflammatory bowel disease to the biosimilar.

Number 3: The House Committee on Oversight and Reform has launched a wide-ranging investigation into prescription drug pricing in the United States.

Number 2: In an interview with The Center for Biosimilars®, partners at Goodwin explained the impact that biosimilar developers will feel from the ongoing government shutdown.

Number 1: A representative from Pfizer has confirmed to The Center for Biosimilars® that the company has terminated 5 of its preclinical biosimilar programs after the results of the company’s annual investment review.
