We have the answers, do you know the questions? If so, you’ll enjoy this Jeopardy style game focused on biosimilars. Biosimilar anti-rheumatologic disease modifying therapies have been approved by the FDA and are becoming increasingly available in the US. Yet, concerns among some clinicians and patients remain. In this activity, Jonathan Kay, MD, discusses the approval process and other issues related to biosimilar development and use so that you can be confident when discussing them with and prescribing them for your patients.
Editor’s Note: The faculty for this activity has disclosed that there will be discussion about the use of products for non-FDA approved applications.
