The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) and the Bioindustry Association (BIA) have teamed up to develop material on biological medicines including biosimilars to improve prescriber and stakeholder understanding and perceptions.
The bodies believe increasing knowledge in this area is important as it is predicted that, by 2016, seven of the top 10 medicines worldwide will be biologics, and since 2006, more than 18 branded biosimilar medicines have been granted marketing authorizations in the EU.
It is expected that the number of biosimilar medicines available in the UK will increase with biosimilars entering a wider range of therapy areas including oncology and diabetes.
