Biosimilar Humira Settlements Stand Firm In US
Purchasers Had Alleged Anticompetitive Conduct
Settlement agreements reached by Humira biosimilar chasers Amgen, Samsung Bioepis and Sandoz in 2017 and 2018 were challenged in court by adalimumab purchasers, which alleged they formed were a part of a broader scheme to hold up competition to the multi-billion-dollar blockbuster brand in the US. But the biosimilar firms and AbbVie will not have to face the antitrust claims.
