This educational program provides a series of case-based scenarios with accompanying resources to help physicians navigate the clinical implications for the use of biosimilars for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The focus of the case scenarios will be to highlight the needs of IBD patients at different points of care, including beginning treatment, a potential, payor-necessitated switch to biosimilars and general questions about switching.
This is the third in our series of four cases related to biosimilars in IBD care.
Here, we’ll be meeting a 62-year-old patient who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis six years ago. He was in remission and doing well on the originator biologic. He transitioned to a biosimilar three months ago and is now experiencing abdominal pain and diarrhea.
