Free Thinking: Biosimilars: Friend or foe to healthcare?

Our Free Thinking white paper looks at the opportunities for biosimilars and the threats to innovator biologics.

Biologics, whose active substance is derived from a living organism, have enabled healthcare to make significant therapeutic advances across a whole raft of therapy areas since their introduction in the 1970s. However, these medicines come at a price, reflecting the complexities involved in developing and manufacturing products derived from living cells. Annual treatment costs in the US can range from US$25,000 to US$200,000.

Biosimilars medicines, the follow-on “generics” to biologics which have come off-patent, present a significant opportunity to introduce cutting-edge therapies to the treatment landscape for many diseases, while also addressing the cost-effectiveness demands now being made on global healthcare systems.
