PYZCHIVA

“The FDA approval of PYZCHIVA as a biosimilar to Stelara is an important milestone for patients living with inflammatory conditions, as biosimilars can offer more choice and access to biologic treatments,” said Byoung In Jung, Vice President and Regulatory Affairs Team Leader at Samsung Bioepis. “In addition, biosimilars have a potential to reduce the financial burden of healthcare systems, especially in the US where biologics account for more than 46% of the annual drug spending. We will continue to reinforce our commitment to widen access to medicines by advancing our biosimilar pipeline for the benefits of patients, healthcare providers, and healthcare systems around the world,” she added.
