#357 RE: DewDiligence #356

AMGN, NVS launch Humira biosimilars in Europe, pursuant to prior settlements with ABBV (#msg-134970085, #msg-144157243):

Two additional Humira biosimilars—from MYL and Samsung—are expected to launch in Europe soon.

No pricing information on Humira biosimilars in Europe has been publicly disclosed yet.

The formulation and method-of-use patents that ABBV has used to keep Humira biosimilars off the market in the US until 2023 did not stand up to challenge in Europe.
