IRA’s Impact on Generics/Biosimilars & New Hope From the NEURO-TTRansform Study

Sarfaraz Niazi, PhD (University of Illinois at Chicago), discusses the impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act—President Biden’s historic new prescription drug law under which drug companies will pay rebates to Medicare when their prescription drug prices increase faster than the rate of inflation for certain drugs—on the use of generics and biosimilars. Also, Sami Khella, MD (University of Pennsylvania), talks about the phase 3 NEURO-TTRansform Study, which produced promising results for eplontersen in treating hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloid polyneuropathy.
