Number 4: Celltrion, maker of the biosimilar infliximab product Inflectra, has received a new warning letter from the FDA.

Number 3: A new drug pricing forecast from the consulting company Vizient suggests that biosimilars have reached a tipping point in the US marketplace.

Number 2: The Biosimilars Council has filed an amicus brief in an ongoing case brought by Pfizer against Johnson & Johnson.

Number 1: SB3, a proposed trastuzumab biosimilar developed by Samsung Bioepis, demonstrated equivalence with Herceptin, according to a new study appearing in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
