Pegfilgrastim biosimilars have provided significant cost-savings to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services among the Oncology Care Model population, possibly resulting from stabilization and reduction in net-acquisition-cost prices of reference pegfilgrastim rather than greater utilization of biosimilars.

An ongoing extension study from the phase 3 trial of trastuzumab biosimilar SB3 and trastuzumab reference supports similarity in terms of long-term cardiac safety and survival in patients with HER2-positive, early or locally advanced breast cancer.
2020 Year in Review - Biosimilars | January 13, 2021
Simulation-modeling data indicate significant cost-savings may be generated by converting from reference pegfilgrastim ± on-body injector to biosimilar pegfilgrastim-cbqv for prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced (febrile) neutropenia in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
