Study finds nonmedical switching policy did not negatively impact patients

A new study published in Gastroenterology Research and Practice has found that British Columbia’s 2019 ‘Biosimilars Initiative’ was not associated with harmful impacts on medications and health services use.  The Initiative required IBD patients to switch from Johnson & Johnson’s Remicade® to an infliximab biosimilar (Pfizer’s Inflectra® or Organon’s Renflexis®).
