Real-world evidence indicates that patients with psoriasis can safely and effectively undergo (non-medical) switching to a biosimilar.

Shifts towards on-patient and higher-cost therapies have been observed in TNF-alpha inhibitor biosimilar availability. Therefore, the importance of investing in biosimilars is encouraged.

The safety and efficacy of 4 adalimumab biosimilars was compared in a real-life setting in adult patients with IBD switching from the originator for a non-medical reason.
