NewsWK — A new piece of legislation, known as H.R. 9661, has been introduced to enhance the accessibility of biosimilars in the United States. The Expedited Access to Biosimilars Act aims to streamline the approval process for these biologic medications, which are increasingly seen as cost-effective alternatives to traditional biologics.
The bill seeks to address current regulatory hurdles that may delay the entry of biosimilars into the market, potentially benefiting patients and healthcare providers alike by increasing competition and reducing drug costs.
