Members of our team had the opportunity to present a new poster abstract at the  2023 NASP Annual Meeting & Expo, which was held from September 18-21, and at AMCP Nexus 2023 from October 16-19. 

Background

  • In 2023, ten self-administered biosimilars indicated for autoimmune conditions are expected to launch in the United States, resulting in additional treatment options for patients and a potential for cost savings.
  • The launch of these new biosimilars represents the first wave of self-administered, pharmacy-dispensed specialty medications as compared to provider-administered, medically-billed biologics like Remicade.
  • Perception and knowledge of self-administered biosimilars among health system prescribers and health system specialty pharmacists is limited.

Objectives

To develop a survey that assesses knowledge and perceptions of biosimilars among autoimmune prescribers and health system specialty pharmacists across the United States.
