ABSTRACT: Background
Several adalimumab preparations are now available for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Comparative satisfaction and tolerability are unknown.Objectives
This study investigated IBD patient satisfaction with approved adalimumab biosimilars and their originator.Design
In this cross-sectional study, we included 941 consecutive adalimumab-treated patients with IBD across 45 centres affiliated with the Groupe d'Etude Therapeutique des Affections Inflammatoires du tube Digestif who completed a satisfaction questionnaire comprising four items each rated by a 10-point scale.Methods
The differences in responses were performed using a one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's honest significant difference test.Results
The most commonly used drugs at inclusion were Humira® (436/941, 46.3%), Amgevita® (177/941, 18.8%) and Hulio® (105/941, 11.2%). The mean overall satisfaction rate with adalimumab was 8.5 (standard deviation 1.8). Overall satisfaction was significantly higher in patients treated with Humira (8.6 (1.5)), Hulio (8.6 (1.8)) or Amgevita (8.5 (1.4)) (p < 0.05). Satisfaction with the subcutaneous injection form was higher for patients treated with Yuflyma® (9.0 (1.4)), Humira (8.9 (1.3)) and Hulio (8.9 (1.7)) (p < 0.05). A total of 299 patients (31.8%) described injection site reactions. In all, 223 patients (23.7%) reported being previously treated with another adalimumab of which (32/223, 14.3%) discontinued treatment due to side effects.Conclusion
In this real-world setting, patients with IBD had a high level of satisfaction with adalimumab treatment, with some differences in terms of overall satisfaction and satisfaction with the injection device.
