Abstract:
Aim: We aimed to improve oncology patients' knowledge and awareness of biosimilars. Subsequently, we conducted an assessment of this knowledge by use of an anonymous online survey. Patients & methods: Printed materials discussing major topics related to biosimilars were developed during Phase I of our educational initiative. The brochures contained a link to the online survey. Results: A total of 79 patients responded to our survey. More than 70% of survey participants selected the correct definition of biosimilars and nearly 80% did so on questions focused on regulation, adverse reactions reporting and cost issues related to biosimilars. Conclusion: Our results indicate a good level of both knowledge and awareness of major topics concerning biosimilars among our survey participants.
