IDACIO(CF) PEN (adalimumab-aacf)


Drug overview for IDACIO(CF) PEN (adalimumab-aacf):

Generic name: adalimumab-aacf (AY-da-LIM-ue-mab)
Drug class: Antipsoriatics
Therapeutic class: Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory or Antipyretic

Adalimumab, adalimumab-aacf, adalimumab-aaty, adalimumab-adaz, adalimumab-adbm, adalimumab-afzb, adalimumab-aqvh, adalimumab-atto, adalimumab-bwwd, adalimumab-fkjp and adalimumab-ryvk, recombinant DNA-derived human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibodies, are tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors that are biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Adalimumab-aacf (Idacio(R)), adalimumab-aaty (Yuflyma(R)), adalimumab-adaz (Hyrimoz(R)), adalimumab-adbm (Cyltezo(R)), adalimumab-afzb (Abrilada(R)), adalimumab-aqvh (Yusimry(R)), adalimumab-atto (Amjevita(R)), adalimumab-bwwd (Hadlima(R)), adalimumab-fkjp (Hulio(R)), and adalimumab-ryvk (Simlandi(R)) are biosimilar to adalimumab (Humira(R)). FDA defines a biosimilar as a biological product that is highly similar to an FDA-licensed reference biological with the exception of minor differences in clinically inactive components and for which there are no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, or potency.

The claim of biosimilarity is based on a totality-of-evidence approach, which includes consideration of data from analytical, animal, and clinical studies (e.g., human pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies, clinical immunogenicity assessment, additional comparative clinical studies). Therefore, biosimilarity may be established even when there are formulation or minor structural differences as long as these differences are not clinically meaningful. Biosimilars are approved through an abbreviated licensure pathway that establishes biosimilarity between the proposed biological and the reference biological but does not independently establish safety and effectiveness of the proposed biological.

In order to be considered an interchangeable biosimilar, a biological product must meet additional requirements beyond demonstrating biosimilarity to its reference product; these requirements include demonstrating that the biological product can be expected to produce the same clinical results as the reference product in any given patient and, for a biological product that is administered more than once to an individual, the risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy of alternating or switching between use of the biological product and the reference product is no greater than the risk of using the reference product without such alteration or switch. Biosimilar products that are interchangeable can be substituted for the reference product without the intervention of the healthcare provider who prescribed the reference product. Of the available adalimumab biosimilars, only adalimumab-afzb (Abrilada(R)), adalimumab-adbm (Cyltezo(R)), and adalimumab-ryvk (Simlandi(R)) are designated as interchangeable with adalimumab (Humira(R)). In this monograph, unless otherwise stated, the term ''adalimumab products'' refers to adalimumab (the reference drug) and its biosimilars (adalimumab-aacf, adalimumab-aaty, adalimumab-adaz, adalimumab-adbm, adalimumab-afzb, adalimumab-aqvh, adalimumab-atto, adalimumab-bwwd, adalimumab-fkjp, and adalimumab-ryvk).

Several adalimumab biosimilars are available. Biosimilarity of these products has been demonstrated for the indications described in Table 1. Biosimilarity to originator adalimumab is additionally supported by comparative clinical studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (adalimumab-aacf, adalimumab-aaty, adalimumab-adaz, adalimumab-adbm, adalimumab-afzb, adalimumab-atto, adalimumab-bwwd, adalimumab-fkjp), Crohn disease (adalimumab-adbm), and/or psoriasis (adalimumab-aacf, adalimumab-adaz, adalimumab-adbm, adalimumab-aqvh, adalimumab-atto, adalimumab-ryvk).
