Biosimilars | Current Treatment | Endocrinology | US/EU | 2021

The biosimilar / follow-on insulin sector of the diabetes therapy market is evolving. Eli Lilly / Boehringer Ingelheim’s Abasaglar / Basaglar was the first biosimilar / follow-on insulin glargine to launch in Europe and the United States, followed by Sanofi’s Admelog / Insulin lispro Sanofi. Subsequently, the EC approved Biocon / Viatris’s (Mylan’s) insulin glargine biosimilar Semglee, and the FDA approved this agent as an interchangeable biosimilar in July 2021.

Endocrinologists’ prescribing behavior will directly impact the uptake of these products, including insulin brands such as Sanofi’s Lantus and Eli Lilly’s Humalog. Understanding physicians’ attitude and behavior regarding biosimilars / follow-on insulins is critical for development and marketing strategies aimed at persuading endocrinologists to prescribe and drive biosimilar / follow-on insulin uptake.

Clarivate’s primary research with endocrinologists in the United States, France, and Germany allows clients to assess the dynamics determining current and future biosimilar / follow-on insulin uptake within the diabetes space.

This report includes the following topics:

• Physicians’ current experience prescribing biosimilars / follow-on insulins.
• The main drivers and barriers influencing biosimilar / follow-on insulin uptake.
• The impact of cost and clinical data on biosimilar / follow-on insulin uptake.
