Cheaper copycat drugs put to the test for rare autoimmune disease
NCT ID NCT05716334
Summary
This study compared newer, more affordable 'biosimilar' versions of the drug rituximab to the original version in patients with two rare autoimmune diseases (GPA and MPA). Researchers followed 201 Canadian patients for two years to see if the biosimilars worked as well and were as safe as the original drug in controlling the disease and preventing relapses. They also checked if patients got insurance approval faster for the biosimilar drugs.
