December 2022, Vol 13, No 6
A survey of US physicians who prescribe biologics to their patients revealed that 92% were confident in the safety and efficacy of biosimilars, 89% would prescribe a biosimilar to a new patient, and 80% were comfortable initiating the switching of patients who are stable on their current biologic medication to a biosimilar. However, the majority of respondents indicated that they were not comfortable with third-party substitution for nonmedical reasons, and felt that they, along with their patients, should have control over treatment choice. Results of this survey were discussed by Ralph McKibbin, MD, FACP, FACG, AGAF, Chairman of the Alliance for Safe Biologic Medicines, in a poster presentation during the Drug Information Association 2022 Global Annual Meeting.
