Biosimilars | Emerging Biosimilars | Immunology | Inflectra/Renflexis | Wave 3 | US | 2018

Inflectra (infliximab-dyyb), Pfizer/Celltrion’s Remicade biosimilar, became the first monoclonal antibody biosimilar to enter the U.S. market in late November 2016. Merck & Co.’s Renflexis (infliximab-abda) subsequently launched in July 2017. Waves 1 and 2 of this series track Inflectra’s awareness and uptake since launch, while Wave 3 also incorporates Renflexis. Along with awareness, familiarity, and perceptions of biosimilars, our research explores the drivers and barriers behind uptake of both Inflectra and Renflexis. Promotional efforts are also explored, as well as prescriber and nonprescriber profiles, and benchmarking comparisons against other available biosimilars, to better understand the dynamics of the U.S. biosimilars market.
