Biological medicines often represent the cutting-edge of biomedical research and have revolutionized the treatment of a variety of medical illnesses and conditions that presently have no other treatments available. A biosimilar product is exactly what its name implies — it is a biologic that is “similar” to another biologic drug already approved by the FDA. To help increase awareness and understanding of the important scientific, regulatory and reimbursement policies for these medicines, PhRMA is excited to launch a new section of our website today that provides educational resources on these topics.
Within the new website section, you can find the following information:
Additionally, a number of downloadable fact sheets and infographics are available on more in-depth biologics and biosimilars topics. As the regulatory environment surrounding these medicines continues to evolve, PhRMA will develop and offer additional resources on the page that provide key facts on these milestones.
Our goal is to create a comprehensive source of information on biologics and biosimilars, so that we can help improve awareness, science and evidence-based decision-making and patient choice.
