Evaluation of Methods Employed in Establishing Preclinical Similarity of Adalimumab Biosimilars.
Review in Advances in pharmacological and pharmaceutical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adalimumab, marketed as Humira, is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the activity of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and is used in treating several autoimmune disorders. As one of the top-grossing pharmaceuticals, its global sales surpassed $20 billion in 2023, leading to significant biosimilar development, with 10 products available by 2025. This review analyses published preclinical studies to assess the evaluation methods employed to establish biosimilarity between Humira and four key biosimilars: ABP501 (Amjevita), FKB327 (Hulio), MSB11022 (Idacio), and SB5 (Imraldi). Our comparative analysis reveals that primary structure, glycosylation profiles, Fc receptor binding affinity, and TNF-alpha neutralization potency are critical quality attributes essential for establishing biosimilarity. Notably, while all four biosimilars demonstrated comparable functional properties to the reference product, variations in glycosylation patterns presented distinct regulatory challenges. This review is a valuable resource for biopharmaceutical scientists engaged in biosimilar development, ultimately supporting advancing more accessible and affordable treatment options while ensuring adherence to stringent efficacy, safety, and quality standards of adalimumab biosimilars.
