Biosimilars | Emerging Biosimilars | Oncology | Herzuma | Germany | Wave 1 | 2018

Celltrion’s Herzuma (trastuzumab) is the first biosimilar of Roche’s blockbuster HER2-targeted therapy, Herceptin, to launch in Europe. This series tracks uptake of Herzuma and medical oncologists’ awareness of the agent in order to gauge its impact in the commercially lucrative breast cancer market and the gastroesophageal cancer market. The series investigates perceptions of Herzuma, drivers of and barriers to its use, and future-use expectations. Promotional efforts are explored, as well as prescriber and nonprescriber profiles, and benchmarking against other biosimilars, to better understand the dynamics of the German biosimilars market.
