US physicians are more comfortable with short duration of clinical trials on the whole, the report added.
Decision Resources product director Michael Malecki said that the desire for trials addressing immunogenicity of biosimilars is greater among European physicians.
“This very likely reflects immunogenicity problems with biosimilars erythropoiesis stimulating agents currently on the market in the EU,” said Malecki.
The report found that US and European physicians place the most trust in biotech companies experienced in manufacturing biologics.
