Remsima (infliximab) is a biosimilar monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for treatment of:

  1. rheumatoid arthritis,
  2. adult Crohn's disease,
  3. pediatric Crohn's disease,
  4. ulcerative colitis,
  5. pediatric ulcerative colitis,
  6. ankylosing spondylitis,
  7. psoriatic arthritis, and
  8. psoriasis.[10]

In 2012 Remsima was approved by the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), previously known as Korea Food and Drug Administration and in 2013 it became the world's first[11] biosimilar monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved by the EMA.[10]

Herzuma is a biosimilar trastuzumab approved by the MFDS for treatment of early and advanced (metastatic) HER2+ breast cancer as well as advanced (metastatic) stomach cancer. Herzuma is a HER2+ breast cancer therapy designed to treat aggressive HER positive metastatic and adjuvant breast cancer, as well as HER2 positive adenocarcinoma of the stomach that has spread (metastatic or advanced gastric cancer).[12][13][14]

Truxima (previously known as CT-P10) is the first biosimilar of the reference monoclonal antibody rituximab that targets CD20 molecule primarily found on the surface of B-cells. Its target indications are rheumatoid arthritis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.[15][16] It was approved by the EMA in February 2017.[17]
