Infliximab is an anti-tumor necrosis factor agent used to treat rheumatologic disease. Evidence on the safety of switching to biosimilars and the associated risk factors for flares/loss of disease control within rheumatology is limited. The primary objective is to evaluate nonmedical switches from reference infliximab to biosimilars in rheumatology on risks and level of disease control.

Budget impact analysis of cenobamate for epilepsy patients with drug-resistant focal onset seizures in the Netherlands.

J Med Econ

December 2025

Department of Health Services Research, Care and Public Health Research Institute (CAPHRI), Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the financial consequences of adopting cenobamate as a treatment alternative in epilepsy patients with drug-resistant focal onset seizures (FOS) from a societal perspective in the Netherlands.

Methods: A previous budget impact model with a 5-year time horizon was adapted to the Dutch setting accounting for the eligible population, real-world market shares, treatment effectiveness and resource use in two scenarios: cenobamate with constant market share versus cenobamate with linearly increased market share up to 20%. Clinical inputs included treatment response, seizure reduction and adverse events.

Background: Over the last decade, the treatment options for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have significantly progressed with the emergence of new medications designed to target various immune pathways and mitigate inflammation. Adalimumab (ADA) is a tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonist and stands as an effective treatment for IBD. In April 2021, the province of British Columbia implemented a mandatory non-medical switch policy of the ADA originator Humira to ADA biosimilars.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of switching from the original rituximab (RTX-O) to its biosimilars (RTX-B) in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), with a focus on long-term drug retention and safety.
  • It included 181 patients who switched to either GP2013 or CT-P10, finding that the drug retention rates were high over 36 months, particularly for GP2013.
  • The transition to CT-P10 showed a higher risk of discontinuation, but overall, the switch to RTX-B was deemed safe with a low incidence of adverse events.
