Biosimilars: A Science Success Story

The Biosimilars Council is proud to partner with the International Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Association (IGBA) to launch a new video, “Biosimilars: A Science Success Story.” This important, informative educational video addresses major topics for stakeholders, including the 10+-years of European experience with biosimilars that have led to more 700 million patient days of safe and efficacious biosimilar use, the underlying science behind originator biologic and biosimilar development and approval, as well as the confidence health care providers can have in prescribing and administering a biosimilar.
