Biosimilars: A Value Proposition AbstractBiosimilars are biological agents that effectively replicate original reference products. The main driver of their development is the promise of bringing competition into the marketplace, and consequently contributing to the sustainability of healthcare systems. By reducing financial barriers to biological therapies, biosimilars play a part in budgetary redistribution and, hence, in increasing patients' access to treatment. They also foster innovation and...
