Sandoz announced that it has received FDA approval for its Hyrimoz® (adalimumab), biosimilar to AbbVie’s Humira® in a citrate-free, high concentration formulation that it intends to launch in the US on 1 July 2023 pursuant to the licence granted in its settlement with AbbVie on 11 October 2018.  Hyrimoz® is approved for the same seven indications as the reference product, AbbVie’s Humira®.
