The FDA recently approved the biosimilar infliximab and found that from an immunogenicity profile it was more or less similar, which is important for payers and providers, explained Jeremy Schafer, PharmD, MBA, vice president and director of specialty solutions at Precision For Value.
A pharmaceutical manufacturer was preparing to launch 2 biosimilars with autoimmune disease indications across 6 European markets. With several access challenges for both products anticipated, this case study shares our approach to the assessment of likely access conditions and price potentials at launch, as well as the evidence generation needed to improve those scenarios across markets. The findings were critical to informing the development of a pricing strategy for both biosimilars.

The presenters will outline how clinical and economic evidence, research, and market forces can shift price points through launch preparation. New research on how payers perceive a product based on price will be unveiled along with implications across different benefits plans, such as Medicare Part D and employer-funded programs.
