Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the level of competition in regional biosimilar tenders in Italy focusing on price awards and tender outcomes from 2008-2012.
- A web-based analysis identified 191 tender lots for three off-patent biologics (somatropin, epoetin, and filgrastim) and utilized multiple linear regression to explore factors influencing awarded prices.
- Results showed that while somatropin prices remained stable, filgrastim and epoetin prices dropped significantly, with increased competition leading to substantial price reductions, indicating untapped potential for better competition in Italian tenders.
