[Biosimilars in Gastroenterology - how much uncertainly is ethically acceptable?]

Biosimilars use raises uncertainties with regards to efficacy despite potentially significant cost reductions. This requires a classical harm-benefit analysis. Important stakeholders include physicians and patients, companies producing biologica (drugs containing biotechnology-derived proteins as active substance), and companies producing biosimilars, as well as health insurance companies and politicians. They all have their distinct interests. In a rule-setting process, transparency is needed to protect the trust between patients and physicians. In an ideal world, the price of biologica without patent protection would be negotiated in a way that makes biosimilars unnecessary.
