Abstract
Background/Purpose:
In routine care, biosimilar-to-biosimilar infliximab switching may occur to save costs (=non-medical switching). Previous studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of switches from originator infliximab to corresponding biosimilar in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (1). However, the outcomes after switching from one infliximab biosimilar to a second infliximab biosimilar remain scarcely investigated. Denmark has recently conducted a nationwide mandatory infliximab biosimilar-to-biosimilar switch. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of switching infliximab biosimilars CT-P13-to-GP1111 among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), including patients who had previously switched from originator (originator-experienced) to CT-P13 as well as patients who were originator-naïve.
