BBCIC

The Biologics & Biosimilars Collective Intelligence Consortium (BBCIC)

BBCIC is AMCP's dedicated biosimilars research arm — a public-private, non-proprietary consortium that generates real-world evidence on the safety and effectiveness of biologics, biosimilars, and other novel therapeutics.

By pooling de-identified data from participating health plans and integrated delivery systems, BBCIC produces scientifically rigorous evidence that builds clinician and payer confidence in biosimilar adoption.
