With around a 90% gap in biosimilar development for biologics losing patent exclusivity over the next decade, the biosimilar void still haunts industry experts — because if nothing changes, impact to America's patients could be devastating. This is why our last panel was so important, as Balaji Prasad, MD of Alvotech, Matt Erick of Biocon Biologics and AAM's Giuseppe Randazzo covered development challenges, and the opportunities available to eliminate U.S. market uptake hurdles and fill the biosimilar void.
