description | The patent expiry of Humira in 2018 opened up the current European market to eight adalimumab
biosimilars – (in alphabetical order) Amgevita, Amsparity, Hulio, Hukyndra, Hyrimoz, Idacio,
Imraldi and Yuflyma – for the treatment of various immune and inflammatory conditions. Amjevita,
Hadlima, Hyrimoz and Yuflyma have recently become available in the USA, with others expected to
reach this market in 2023 as the US patent protection for Humira ends. Although adalimumab biosimilars
demonstrate efficacy, safety and immunogenicity similar to the originator, they may differ in product
excipient(s) and preservatives, along with their device type(s). Physicians may find it both difficult and time
consuming to navigate their way among the array of available adalimumab biosimilars when they need
to make a treatment decision. This article explores the characteristics of various adalimumab biosimilars
to help clinicians navigate the various options available across Europe and the USA. In addition to drug
selection, effective patient–physician communication is needed to nurture realistic patient expectations
and minimize potential nocebo effects when prescribing biosimilars. |
