ACR 2016 Preview: Biosimilars On Par with Originators yet Patients Remain Skeptic
In this slideshow, we preview biosimilar studies due to be presented at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting Nov. 11-16 in Washington, D.C.
Biosimilars are becoming more common for patient treatments, and the body of data around their safety and efficacy continues to grow. Patient satisfaction has also been a frequent study topic. In this slideshow, we highlight some studies that examine biosimilar use compared to originator products. These studies, and more, will be presented during the American College of Rheumatology 2016 annual meeting, Nov. 11-16 in Washington, D.C.
