Multiple sclerosis. Generic glatiramer acetate--a step toward cheaper MS drugs?

Per Soelberg Sørensen. Nat Rev Neurol. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

A randomized, double-blind, phase III trial of generic glatiramer acetate has shown equivalent efficacy and safety compared with the approved formulation, Copaxone. The impact of approval of generic glatiramer acetate, however, will mainly depend on the pricing of the drug.
