SECTION II: Impressions of biosimilar naming: unaided and aided questions

PROGRAMMER NOTE: For Q8 – Q15, pipe in appropriate information based on provider specialty. Note that the nonproprietary names should appear in parentheses after the brand names.

Specialty	A (Junexant)		B (Nexsymeo)	C (Indication)
Rheumatology		denliximab-ghvb	denliximab-kbcn	rheumatoid arthritis
Dermatology		denliximab-ghvb	denliximab-kbcn	plaque psoriasis
Gastroenterology		denliximab-ghvb	denliximab-kbcn	adult Crohn’s Disease
Oncology		alodripsim-ghvb	alodripsim-kbcn	treatment of neutropenia
Hematology		alodripsim-ghvb	alodripsim-kbcn	treatment of neutropenia
Nephrology		esalamin-ghvb	esalamin-kbcn	treatment of anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients on dialysis and patients not on dialysis

Q8. Suppose Junexant ([A: pipe in based on specialty]) is a biological product that is approved for [C: pipe in based on specialty]. Recently, a new biological product Nexsymeo ([B: pipe in based on specialty]) was introduced into the market after receiving FDA approval.

Based only on the information presented above, how certain are you that the new Nexsymeo ([B: pipe in based on specialty]) product and Junexant ([A: pipe in based on specialty]) will …? [Grid]

PROGRAMMER NOTE: Randomize A through F, same order for Q8 and Q9.

Q8A. Have the same active ingredient

Q8B. Have one or more of the same FDA-approved indications in common

Q8C. Have common route(s) of administration

Q8F. Have the same dosing

02	Very certain
03	Somewhat certain

Q9. Assume you prescribe Junexant ([A: pipe in based on specialty]) frequently in your practice. You research the new Nexsymeo ([B: pipe in based on specialty]) product, which is approved by the FDA as a biosimilar to Junexant for ([C: pipe in based on specialty]) . “Biosimilar” means that the biological product is approved based on data demonstrating that it is highly similar to an FDA-approved biological product, known as a reference product, and that there are no clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar product and the reference product. A biosimilar product must also have the same strength, route of administration, and dosage form as the reference product, and its conditions of use (e.g., indications) must have been previously approved for the reference product.

In order for your patients to receive the biosimilar product, you must expressly prescribe “[B: pipe in based on specialty]” or Nexsymeo.

Considering the information above, how certain are you that the new Nexsymeo ([B: pipe in based on specialty]) product and Junexant ([A: pipe in based on specialty]) will…? [Grid]

Closing/Debrief

Thank you for your participation in this study; we appreciate your time and effort. Your participation helps the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and FDA learn more about how health care providers think and communicate about biosimilar drug products.

The drug names that you saw today were created for the purposes of this study and are not for real prescription drugs.
