News Briefs: Sen. Mike Lee Reintroduced Biosimilar Red Tape Elimination Act

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) reintroduced the Biosimilar Red Tape Elimination Act (S. 2305), his office said on July 13. The legislation is focused on increasing competition among biologics and lowering consumer costs for them. He first introduced the bill, which would do away with the FDA requirement for switching studies for biosimilars seeking the interchangeability designation, on Nov. 17, 2022. The legislation has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Clearway Health is working with The Brooklyn Hospital Center to help improve access to specialty pharmacy drugs for underserved patients, Clearway Health said on Aug. 2. The company, which partners with hospitals and health systems to build or improve their own specialty pharmacy programs, said it will help the hospital by broadening its services, decreasing patients’ financial responsibilities, improving patient adherence and boosting clinical outcomes.
