BIOSIMILARS: Origins & The Path Forward

BIOSIMILARS: Origins & The Path Forward

Almost 7 years removed from the first FDA approved Biosimilar (Zarxio) in 2015, the US market for Biosimilars is projected to be highly beneficial over the next decade, for both pharmaceutical companies as well as patients, with RAND Corporation projecting estimated savings of over $54 Billion during this period. To truly comprehend such forecasts, a deeper understanding of what constitutes a ‘Biosimilar Drug’ is required. Essentially, the structure of a biosimilar is based on a pre-existing, approved drug known as a Biologic & possesses no significant clinical difference in safety,…
