ABSTRACT
Abstract Biopharmaceuticals, mainly monoclonal antibodies, and fusion proteins are drugs that have gained notoriety in the treatment of various chronic and inflammatory diseases and have high prices. The study aimed to verify which monoclonal antibodies and fusion proteins were most incorporated into the Unified Health System (SUS), which therapeutic indication most benefited from them and to analyze public spending on these biopharmaceuticals from January 2012 to September 2019. This study performed a qualitative and quantitative analysis of biopharmaceuticals incorporated by SUS. The data were collected on the websites of CONITEC and the Health Price Bank. The results demonstrated that subcutaneous adalimumab was most frequently incorporated, and the most requested therapeutic indication was rheumatoid arthritis. Public spending on biopharmaceuticals exceeded R$ 28 billion (more than US$ 140 billion). However, a downward trend was confirmed (-266.7%) in the period evaluated. Despite the increase in demand and public spending on biologics in general, in Brazil and worldwide, the results of this research show that there was a drop in public spending on the biopharmaceuticals studied in the last seven years.
