Three news Humira biosimilars launch in the USA
With the block on biosimilar versions of AbbVie’s (NYSE: ABBV) mega blockbuster Humira (adalimumab) now removed in the USA, the weekend witnessed the launch of three copycat products in the American market.
Despite facing competition from biosimilars in Europe and elsewhere outside of the USA, AbbVie has managed to fend them off in the world’s largest pharma market until this year. Full year global sales of Humira in 2022 totalled $21.24 billion.
First, German family-owned pharma major Boehringer Ingelheim’s Cyltezo (adalimumab-adbm) became the first and only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved interchangeable biosimilar to Humira to be commercially available in the USA as of July 1, 2023.
