Virtual Event: The evolving landscape for biosimilars

Editor’s note: A recording of the event is embedded below.

Biosimilars were anticipated to be a solution to the soaring cost of prescription medicines to treat a slew of diseases. Have they reached their potential?

Some see encouraging signs of increased adoption rates for these treatments, which are made from living cells and nearly identical to their biologic counterparts. Others fear they are meeting resistance.

STAT’s Ed Silverman will convene a discussion on what it will take to create a functioning biosimilar market in the U.S.
