In the 1993 film Groundhog Day, Bill Murray starred as Phil Connors, a man condemned to the repetition of living the same day over and over again. With biosimilar competition to Stelara (ustekinumab) on the horizon, the off-patent industry may be wondering whether to expect a similar fate.
The parallels between Stelara and Humira (adalimumab), which has already faced biosimilar competition around the world, are multiple.
