Update of the SEPD position statement on the use of biosimilars for inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract

In 2013, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the biosimilar infliximab (CT-P13) for the full range of indications of the originator product, based on data from two trials conducted in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The same year, our Society published a position statement that was later reviewed.
