Page 25 Page 26 What to Consider When Reviewing Biosimilars for Formulary Inclusion Safety & Efficacy Manufacturer Considerations Hospital & Patient Factors KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN BIOSIMILAR REVIEW Product characteristics Clinical data Immunogenicity Pharmacovigilance for safety concerns Medication availability History of shortages or recalls Handling practices Supply chain security Anti-counterfeit protection Packaging and labeling Product storage Product administration Interchangeability Variety (extrapolation) of indications Product naming Information technology support Economic considerations Patient education Page 27 Page 28 Safety & Efficiacy Manufacturer Considerations Key Questions Key Questions Does the clinical data (pre-approval, post-approval, international) available support the indications for which the biosimilar has been approved and is being considered for formulary inclusion? What about use of the biosimilar in offlabel indications? How will your health system address pharmacovigilance concerns regarding potential differences in immunogenicity and other adverse effects? Will the manufacturer be able to maintain a reliable supply and adequate production of the biosimilar to meet demand for its anticipated usage? Does the manufacturer have a recent history of shortages or recalls that would decrease your health system s confidence in the biosimilar s availability? Page 29 Page 30

6 Hospital & Patient Factors Interchangeability Key Questions Are there any differences in packaging, shelf life, storage requirements or routes of administration between the biosimilar and reference product? How should interchangeability of the biosimilar be addressed? Will the biosimilar being reviewed be included on formulary for all indications for which the reference product is approved, if different? How will the naming of the biosimilar affect adverse event reporting/tracking and its inclusion in your health system s IT systems? What cost factors, besides acquisition cost, should be considered? The biological product is biosimilar to the reference product, can be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient, and the risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy of alternating or switching between use of the biological product and the reference product is not greater than the risk of using the reference product without such alternation or switch.
