20 Subsequent entry biologics in RA: What s next? Health Canada defines a SEB as "a biologic product that is similar to and would enter the market subsequent to an approved innovator biologic product 1 Both the CRA and the ORA have released position statements on SEBs. Issues tackled include: 1,2 Cost and accessibility to safe and effective drugs Traceability and clear nomenclature No automatic interchangeability or substitution with innovator molecules Ongoing assessment and post-marketing surveillance Health Canada approved two infliximab SEBs in January, Ontario Rheumatology Association.
