A multidisciplinary team of biosimilar experts conducted a systematic review of literature and engaged in review rounds to identify these challenges. The article suggests that health technology assessment agencies should accept the comparability exercise approved by regulatory authorities and conduct price comparisons for biosimilars reimbursed for the same indication as the reference biologic. In cases…
