Although there is widespread optimism around the first biosimilars being launched in the USA, a new report sponsored by Prime Therapeutics warns that pending regulatory decisions and state-level actions could stifle the market and reduce savings for payers and patients.

The pharmacy benefit manager sponsored the report entitled “The Economic Viability of a US Biosimilars Industry,” authored by health economist Alex Brill, chief executive of Matrix Global Advisors.
