In this episode of the Illuminoz podcast series, Bianca Stadler speaks with Professor Heinz Wiendl – neurologist and neuroimmunologist – about the first biosimilar approved for use in multiple sclerosis: biosimilar natalizumab (Tyruko®).
What was the development and regulatory pathway for this biosimilar? How does the approval process differ from that of originator biologics? And what clinical and pharmacokinetic data support its use?
