Summary
In 2018 year, the patent of original adalimumab expired and a new biosimilar version of adalimumab have been introduced on the Czech market. FKB-327 is one of the new biosimilar adalimumab versions and was approved for all indication of the original drug. This is the first experience with biosimilar adalimumab FKB-327 in IBD patients. Patients cohort comprised from 51 patients included 40 (82%) ones with Crohn´s disease and 9 (18%) ones with ulcerative colitis. Most of the patients (78%) have been naive for biologic therapy. A positive therapeutic effect during the median follow up time (37 weeks) was described in 47 (92%) patients. This drug was tolerated very well and none of the treated patients had to stop prematurely the drug administration due to significant side effects.
