Novartis AG's (NOVN.EB) Sandoz subsidiary said Friday it has presented positive data from two phase 3 studies of its Zessly and Erelzi biosimilars.

Results from the two studies show the drugs, which are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, matched their reference medicine in terms of safety, efficacy and quality, Novartis said.

The research suggests that switching from the reference medicine to either of the biosimilars has no negative effects on safety or efficacy and doesn't damage the patient's ability to generate an immune response, Novartis said.

The European Union approved Zessly for use in Europe in May, while Erelzi received approval last June.
