ACR issues new rheumatoid arthritis guidelines

The new biosimilar, Tyenne, was approved in both an IV and a subcutaneous forms to treat inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

Celltrion’s application is based on data from a phase 3 trial of patients with rheumatoid arthritis comparing its biosimilar with Actemra.

Biogen is still evaluating launch timeline for Tofidence, and information on pricing will be available closer to launch.

Sandoz will now launch both high-concentration and low-concentration versions of Hyrimoz (adalimumab-adaz) in July.

Kevzara is the first biologic to treat patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). It is also approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

The real impact may not likely be seen until after July when additional biosimilars referencing Humira are launched.
