PBAC adopts positive recommendation for expanded Hadlima® indications

PBS publishes the outcomes of the July 2020 meeting including a positive recommendation for Merck’s application to broaden out the PBS reimbursed indications for its Hadlima® (biosimilar adalimumab). Merck’s Hadlima® was first granted PBS listing in 2018 for rheumatoid arthritis only. The expanded recommendation follows Sandoz’s positive recommendation for Hyrimoz® earlier this year, which included the same indications as Humira®.
