Number 3: Irish hospitals will be offered an incentive for each patient switched from brand-name Humira or Enbrel to a biosimilar option.
Number 2: A new study has found that switching among multiple biosimilar infliximab products was not associated with increased immunogenicity.
Number 1: A Canadian advisory council is recommending the use of biosimilars in a final report that lays out recommendations for how the country can create a single-payer public system for pharmaceutical coverage.
