Key clinical point: Switching from adalimumab (ADA) originator to the biosimilar SB5 was safe with acceptable drug persistence and no change in biochemical activity over time in a large real-world cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Major finding: At 26 and 52 weeks, 84.6% and 70.8% of patients who switched from ADA to SB5 remained on SB5 treatment, respectively. The proportion of patients in biochemical remission (P = .80), fecal biomarker remission (P = .40), and clinical remission (P = .53) was similar at baseline, week 26, and week 52 following the switch. Injection-site pain was the most commonly reported adverse event.

Study details: Findings are from a retrospective observational study of patients with IBD who underwent an elective switch from the ADA originator to the biosimilar SB5 (n=256).

Disclosures: No funding information was reported. LAAP Derikx, SI Siakavellas, N Plevris, and CW Lees declared serving as speaker, being on advisory boards, and/or receiving grant support from various sources. The other authors had no disclosures.
