Despite the incorporation of trastuzumab biosimilars (to treat HER2-positive breast cancer) in clinical practice guidelines, gaps remain such as patient and clinician education. We hosted a webinar comprised of a panel of biosimilars experts, oncologists, pharmacist, infusion nurse, and a patient advocate. The outcomes of the webinar include audience responses to pre- and post-webinar questionnaires, educational benefits, real-time opportunities to ask questions, and a recording. Education needs to be tailored to the needs of both, patients and clinicians.

Background: Formulation screening is essential to experimentally balance stability and viscosity in high-concentration mAb formulations. We developed a high-throughput approach with automated sample preparation and analytical workflows to enable the integrated assessment of excipient compatibility and viscosity of mAb formulations.

Methods: Ninety-six formulations of a trastuzumab biosimilar were screened by combining 8 types of excipient modifiers with 4 types of buffers across a pH range of 4.

Background: Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody for breast cancer, faces global accessibility challenges, primarily due to high costs. This study examines how changes in medical insurance policies and price adjustments influence Trastuzumab utilization in China, focusing on implementation challenges and their impact on drug accessibility and affordability.

Methods: This retrospective study investigated Trastuzumab utilization among HER2-positive breast cancer patients at a tertiary hospital from May 2013 to December 2022 in JX, a prefecture-level city in eastern China.
