Join us as we examine the promise of biosimilars in the United States and discuss how best to ensure patient access to these treatments. Seats at our two-day conference are limited, so reserve your spot now for Leading on Biosimilars.
The first day of the #LeadingOnBiosimilars conference will feature a talk from Adrian van den Hoven, the Director General of Medicines for Europe. This will be a unique opportunity to gain insight into the European experience regarding biosimilars and lessons U.S biosimilars market stakeholders can use to maximize access for patients. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to hear about the opportunities expanded biosimilars availability provides, not only for a robust market and continued innovation but also for patient access. As Director General, Adrian and his team represent the pharmaceutical companies supplying the largest share of biosimilars medicines across Europe and are the voice of the biosimilars industry in Europe.
Market Access, Market Promise
Day 1 of the conference will also feature a panel entitled “Market Access, Market Promise” moderated by Elizabeth Jex, Attorney Advisor in the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The panel will discuss barriers biosimilars manufacturers face when trying to enter the U.S. market, including anti-competitive tactics used by brand manufacturers and how the federal government and biosimilars industry are dealing with these issues.
The Promise of Biosimilars:
How Patient Advocates Are Educating on the Role of Biosimilars in Patient Care
A key focus of this conference will be sessions dedicated to educating the public, patients and healthcare professionals about the safety and effectiveness of biosimilars. The last panel of the first day will include patient advocates from the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, CancerCare, the Black Women’s Health Imperative and the Cancer Support Community and how their organizations educate their constituencies and networks on the potential of biosimilars. The panel will talk about lessons learned from outreach efforts and give their perspective on how to best inform patients and families about the promise of biosimilars.
