This trial was completed at both our Auckland and Christchurch sites in 2019. The article was authored by NZCR Principal Investigators, Dr Christopher Wynne and Dr Christian Schwabe.

Dr Chris Wynne said “We are very pleased to have completed this large biosimilar which resulted in quality data enabling a new medication being made available to patients in NZ and around the world.
