US and Europe 23 Pharma intelligence | informa
US and Europe: Two Very Different Biosimilar Markets Europe US Around 50 biosimilars launched for drugs including: Sandoz Zarxio (filgrastim)/ Amgen's Neupogen Sanofi's Lantus (insulin glargine) Amgen's Epogen (epoetin alfa) Amgen/Pfizer's Enbrel (etanercept) Amgen's Neupogen (filgrastim) Amgen's Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) Johnson & Johnson/Merck's Remicade (infliximab) Roche's Rituxan (rituximab) Roche's Herceptin (trastuzumab) Abb. Vie's Humira (adalimumab) Pfizer Inflectra (infliximab)/ J&J's Remicade Merck Renflexis (infliximab)/ J&J's Remicade Mylan Fulphila(pegfilgrastim)/ Amgen's Neulasta Pfizer Nyvestym (filgrastim)/ Amgen's Neupogen ~50 biosimilars launched in Europe and 5 launched in the US 24 Pharma intelligence | informa
US Biosimilar Landscape 25 Pharma intelligence | informa
US and Europe: Two Very Different Biosimilar Markets Payer Strategy US Payers Expect To See Biosimilars Usurp Biologics Pharmacy Benefit Managers Able & Prepared To Switch Patients to Biosimilars ”While they may not be interchangeable, biosimilars will be delivered to patients who today are on the branded product” Timothy C Wentworth, CEO, Express Scripts Holding Co 2017 JP Morgan Healthcare Conference 26 Pharma intelligence | informa ”Biosimilars are being included as a component of our 2017 standard formulary strategy replacing higher-costs drugs” David M Denton, CFO & EVP, CVS Health Corp Company Analyst Day, 15 December, 2016
In The US, Mixed Biosimilar Success In the US, biosimilar uptake has remained limited, but varies by category and is impacted by category-specific issues and general challenges like multiple payers, rebates, lack of interchangeability and physician/patient education. Branded Remicade holds onto 93% share of infliximab market two years post biosimilar entry -chronic medication, which leaves biosimilar market to new scripts -J&J defensive contracting has blocked biosimilar infliximab from the market -Pfizer lawsuit against J&J could impact contracting for biosimilars Branded Neupogen only holds 37% share of filgrastim market three years post biosimilar entry -acute treatment, so a steady flow of new patients -administered in a cancer care setting in which patients often don’t know what brand they are receiving 27 Pharma intelligence | informa
Insulin: A category in need of cheaper options • Sanofi’s Lantus (insulin glargine) has been facing competition in the US from Eli Lilly/Boehringer’s Basaglar since 2015. • Sales of Lantus fell 19% in the first 9 months of 2018 to € 2. 7 bn, with some of the decline offset by Sanofi’s newer glargine formula Toujeo. • In the US, Basaglar has performed well, though it was not approved as a biosimilar under US regulatory guidelines, but rather a complex small molecule. Basaglar generated $569 m in the first nine months. • But the market could be restricted to just two products for now. Merck said it won’t launch its insulin glargine version, Lusdana. 28 Pharma intelligence | informa
Is Enthusiasm For Biosimilars Diminishing in the US? Lackluster uptake of some early biosimilars is raising concerns drug developers might hit the pause on biosimilar development if momentum doesn't pick up. -Mylan, early to biosimilars development, announced it is exploring strategic alternatives in August. Slow uptake of complex generics like Copaxone and biosimilars has been one challenge. -Momenta said it is exiting biosimilar development to focus on novel drug development in October, pointing to the slow path to value creation and uncertainty in the market. -Merck, in October, said it will not commercialize biosimilar version of Sanofi's insulin Lantus, after market assessment. Merck said it remains committed to biosimilars, however. -Sandoz has abandoned its rituximab biosimilar in the US after the FDA called for another pivotal study. -CRLS for biosimilars approved in Europe and elsewhere. 29 Pharma intelligence | informa
Payers Sound the Alarm in US • "If [the US market is] not able to produce movement … to the biosimilars and generate a return for those manufacturers that have gone down this biosimilar pathway and invested in those molecules I think they will just realize over time that they have to close up shop and move on. America would have missed a very significant opportunity. " • Kaiser Permanente's national pharmaceutical contracting leader Ambrose Carrejo, 2017 30 Pharma intelligence | informa
Biosimilar Market: commentary on outlook "Do they want to continue to benefit from monopoly rents today, or help generate a vibrant biosimilar market that can help reset biologic pricing – and drug pricing more generally – through competition. These are binary choices. You can't have your cake – or in this case, your rebates – and a vibrant market for biosimilar competition too. " Scott Gottlieb speaking to US insurers at America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) National Health Policy Conference, March 2018
Signs of Life “Some of our competitors and public officials have made statements that the US biosimilar market is not working. We have a different point of view … The fact that a biosimilar now holds the majority share of [filgrastim] segment less than three years postlaunch proves that biosimilars can find a meaningful place in the US market just as they have in Europe. " Tony Hooper Amgen Former Exec VP-Global Commercial Operations
Give it time… • “We’re still in the infancy in the US” – Chrys Kokino, head of biologics for North America at Mylan • “If we look at what’s happened in Europe, what’s happened in other regulated markets, it’s a really bright future for the US. ” – Mike Woolcock, senior VP at Apobiologix • “It’s an exciting time for biosimilars in the US today. ” – Gary Deeb, senior VP global licensing and business development, Lupin Ltd. 33 Pharma intelligence | informa
Next up: Neulasta the next bellwether for US biosimilar uptake • Mylan launched Fulphila in July • Mylan priced aggressively lower versus the brand, a WAC of $4, 175 per syringe, 33% discount to Neulasta WAC • Acute treatment administered in cancer care setting could result in more encouraging uptake • Still early days 34 Pharma intelligence | informa
European Biosimilar Landscape 35 Pharma intelligence | informa
More Products, Longer History • >50 launched biosimilars • Multiple molecules and competing products • Diversity of market type across Europe 36 Pharma intelligence | informa
Europe: Varied, But Tougher To Defend 37 Pharma intelligence | informa
Prospects For Originator Firms In Europe • Compete on price to share the market • Play to strengths in other areas: • • Education and support Logistics and inventory management Delivery device and administration mode Environmental impact of production • Focus on use of savings from biosimilars 38 Pharma intelligence | informa
A Turning Point For Humira • The first adalimumab biosimilars launched in Europe in October, all competing for a piece of Abb. Vie's $4. 4 bn in European revenues • It's the first time four biosimilars have launched at the same time, including Sandoz' Hyrimoz, Samsung Bioepsis/Biogen's Imraldi, Amgen's Amgevita and Mylan/Fujifilm Kyowa Kirin's Hulio and more on the way in 2019. • How will Abb. Vie defend its brand? Early signs suggest the company will be competing on price. • Abb. Vie has won one undisclosed tender for an 80% discount off the price of Humira 39 Pharma intelligence | informa
Eventually… • Biosimilars will take their place, even in the US, though it will be driven by European markets. • Some at the starting line may not stay the course, but big pharma’s presence in biosimilars could bring credibility to the market. • The speed and magnitude of price and market share erosion may be less painful for originators than some originally thought. • But eventually, biosimilar uptake is needed if global health care systems are going to be able to afford pharma’s next wave of innovative launches. 40 Pharma intelligence | informa
