Biosimilar Confidence And Knowledge Needed In Europe, Say Experts
Executive Summary
European biosimilar market penetration varies widely across the EU member states and disease groups, with different government policies on promotion, purchasing and communication leading to mistrust. The European Commission is looking to boost confidence in biosimilars to support their uptake on a much wider scale across Europe, and to get a bird's eye view of what is driving or hindering the EU market for biosimilars.

Bold Move To Embed Biosimilar Switching Aims To Bring Savings Of Up To £300m For NHS England
NHS England has produced a new framework intended to increase the use of biosimilars and generate savings of £200-300m on the drugs bill each year by 2020/21. An initial focus will be AbbVie’s Humira (adalimumab) and Roche’s Herceptin (trastuzumab), which are due to face biosimilar competition in the UK soon. Biosimilars firms have welcomed the move, but the R&D-based industry believes the savings targets set out in the document are unrealistic.
