9.10.2019 08:02:12 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. today announced real-world data of BENEPALI™ in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis from the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics and Immunomodulators Register (BADBIR). The results will be presented at the 2019 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress in Madrid, Spain.1
BADBIR is a UK and Ireland observational study that assesses the long-term safety of biologic treatments for psoriasis, in which Samsung Bioepis participated since May 2016. The study included BADBIR-registered patients treated with BENEPALI™ from January 01, 2016 to September 01, 2018. Among 269 patients who received BENEPALI™, clinical data of 189 patients were available, and were included in the analysis.
At baseline enrollment, the mean disease duration was 22.6 years and the mean Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores were 11.6 and 13.1, respectively. The median treatment period was 14.1 months and the discontinuation rate was 26.3%. Of the 48 patients who had their PASI score available both at baseline and at six months, disease activity of 20 patients with baseline PASI < 10 (mean PASI 3.2) did not increase after six months (mean PASI 3.2). Disease activity of 28 patients with baseline PASI ≥ 10 (mean PASI 15.7) was reduced after six months (mean PASI 5.0).
“Results from this study show that BENEPALI was effective when used by patients in the real-life setting,” said Seongwon Han, MD, Vice President and Lead of Medical Team, Samsung Bioepis. “We hope the growing wealth of real-world data on BENEPALI will help physicians make informed decisions when treating patients with biosimilars.”
The results will be presented during an Oral Free Communication session scheduled at 15:40-15:50 on October 10, 2019 in N109-110. Samsung Bioepis and Biogen are also jointly hosting an Industry Hub Session titled “Shedding new light on the role of anti-TNFs in psoriasis” which will take place between 14:00-14:45 on October 10, 2019 in Room A9.1, IFEMA Ferida de Madrid, Spain. Topics include “Anti-TNFs in psoriasis: Will the use of more affordable options enhance current treatment algorithms?” and “Anti-TNF biosimilars: Real world insights and data.”
Samsung Bioepis and Biogen were the first to launch biosimilars of the three most prescribed anti-TNF therapies for immunological diseases across Europe: etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab.

Octane AI Launches Phoenix, an AI Quiz Builder That Builds, Checks and Improves Quizzes for Shopify Brands21.10.2026 19:15:00 CEST | Press release
Phoenix builds a full quiz from a prompt or a document, catches broken logic before shoppers do and shows what every answer earns in Shopify revenue. Octane AI, the quiz and zero-party data platform for Shopify brands, launched Phoenix in October, its biggest release to date. Merchants describe the quiz they want or upload what they already have, and Phoenix builds it, checks it, personalizes the results and keeps improving it with experiments. One beta customer turned a single document into a complete product-launch quiz: “I attached it to Phoenix, and it built the whole thing, all the pages. It understood everything, not just the text but the logic behind it.” Across all live Octane AI quizzes, 15% of shoppers who finish a quiz place an order. Yet building one has meant hours of writing rules by hand, custom code for design and clicking through every path to find broken results. Phoenix handles those hard parts, from building a quiz to improving it after launch. “Since day one, we've
