According to the FDA, a biosimilar is a biological product that closely resembles an already FDA-approved reference product and shows no clinically significant differences in safety or effectiveness.
Biosimilars are approved for use across a wide range of diseases, from Crohn’s disease to HER2-positive breast cancer.
For example, Zarxio can serve as an alternative to Neupogen (filgrastim), while the newly approved Avsola is intended to replace Remicade (infliximab) for various autoimmune conditions.
One key advantage of these drugs is that they maintain high standards of safety, efficacy, and quality, while also providing more cost-effective treatment options.
Thus, biosimilar products approved by FDA must also meet requirements mentioned in Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act.
