SMi Group has announced that Mr Patrick Lucy, CEO of Pfenex, has joined the speaker line-up for the 4th annual Biosimilars North America conference which takes place on November 15 & 16 in New Jersey.In the run-up to the conference, SMi Group had a quickfire interview with Patrick Lucy. Patrick will be presenting an exclusive session at the conference on where the market for biosimilars is heading, including key milestones and challenges overcome.
Asked about the level of biosimilar discounting is optimal and will we ever see price matching between branded and biosimilar products, Patrick said "Biosimilars are much more complex, requiring more resources and time to develop than small molecule drugs. In addition, there are far fewer players in the market. As such, discounts for biosimilar products have not been as steep as traditional generics. As a greater number of players enter the market and additional products are approved we will see greater competition, which will lead to greater access to needed treatments, positively impacting the lives patients – the ultimate goal.”
The full interview can be found on www.biosimilars-northamerica.com/openPR.
