Compare the probability of acquiring a postmarket safety warning in Canada in four different groups of drugs: (1) traditional medications versus biologics; (2) medications that offer significant new therapeutic benefits versus those that do not. Determine how well the type of review that an NAS ...
A biosimilar is not considered a “generic” in the same way that a traditional, small molecule drug (for example: ibuprofen or acetaminophen) is determined to be a generic. Biosimilars are "similar" because they are biologics that do not have to be exact copies of the active ingredient, as...
Biologic drugs are harder to make than conventional medicines. While most traditional meds are made from chemicals and have known structures, biologics are more complex. They're typically made from living materials, such as animals, humans, and bacteria cells. It's not possible to make a perfect...
The most accurate answer is, "Noone knows yet." Even a summary of HR1038 states, "There is currently noequivalent of a simple ?bioequivalence'study for biologics as there is for traditionaldrugs."1 Additionally, as the BiotechnologyIndustry Organization, which representsbiopharmaceutical manufacturers...
(MTX) or other disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), i.e., MTX/DMARD incomplete responders (MTX/DMARD‐IR). We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (via The Cochrane Library Issue 6, June 2015), ...
In a paper published by the Office of Health Economics (OHE) (7), it was noted that mean estimations of R&D cost should be treated with caution but that the most important factors impacting cost are therapeutic area, firm size, type of molecule (traditional vs. biologic). Based on the ...
The present study overcame these limitations by using traditional meta-analysis methods. Despite the differences in methods, the results from the long-term traditional meta-analysis are consistent with this NMA, suggesting the robustness of the meta-analysis results. However, the meta-analysis directly...
He continued, "However, in patients with minimal musculoskeletal symptoms, NSAIDs [nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs] and traditional DMARDs (such as methotrexate) remain the first-line treatment. Clinicians seeing patients with psoriasis and musculoskeletal symptoms should have a higher index of susp...

This is different from traditional delivery systems that are based on some form of carrier. Carriers can be gels, pellets, contact lenses, or various forms of microparticles that may cause irritation and inflammation, provide substrata for bacterial growth, fall out, and/or interfere with vision ...
