Biosimilars in Osteoporosis: A New World

Biosimilars in Osteoporosis: A New World

Thursday, June 13, 2024

Capital Hilton, Senate Room

1001 16th Street, NW

Washington, DC

Biosimilars are large, complex molecules made from living organisms that are highly similar to their reference biologic and are administered in the same way, with the same strength and dosage, and clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, and potency.

Although regularly used in other disorders, applying biosimilars in osteoporosis is a novel concept.  Join us as we discuss using biosimilars as an alternative treatment option for osteoporosis that may be safely integrated into clinical practice to deliver high quality care and positive effects on bone health.
