Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors Enbrel, Humira, and Remicade have long held dominant positions in the psoriasis market; however, these market leaders face patent expirations and consequent biosimilar launches. Payers are eager to leverage these changes in the competitive landscape and enact pro-biosimilar access measures, resulting in downward pricing pressures and/or continuing market erosion for first-generation TNF-alpha inhibitors. This rate of erosion may initially be gradual, as neither physicians nor payers are likely to advocate patient switching.

9 FIVE MAJOR EU MARKETS
9 Insights and strategic recommendations
9 Uptake of biosimilar TNF-alpha inhibitors varies across EU markets as the EMA does not determine interchangeability
9 Most physicians and payers consider biosimilars to be interchangeable, and an opportunity to reduce costs, but worries around indication extrapolation remain
11 Payers use biosimilars to pressure originators on pricing
12 Hospitals continue to procure both biosimilars and originators; dynamic pricing environment observed
15 Biosimilars will be used as price benchmarks for pipeline agents
16 Payers are unlikely to implement strong incentives to drive uptake of biosimilar infliximab due to limited use of the drug
