Summary
In 2013, EMA approved the first biosimilar infliximab CT-P13 for clinical practice in all indications of the original infliximab. Since 2015, biosimilar infliximab has been extensively used in patients with Crohn‘s disease and ulcerative colitis also in the Czech Republic. Biosimilar infliximab is very similar to the original infliximab in terms of its macromolecular structure, and its clinical effects, adverse events and immunogenicity are identical to those of the original infliximab. Biosimilar biologics which have been introduced in clinical practice significantly reduced therapeutic costs and improved access to an innovative therapy and facilitated a new therapeutic strategy, with pro-active drug monitoring and flexibility in dosing. Biosimilars are associated with a significant improvement in the therapeutic armamentarium, which makes them one of the important therapeutic milestones in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
