Biologics & Biosimilars

Advanced biologic and biosimilar therapy in a better infusion experience.

Specialized infusion therapy from a clinician-led team, thoughtfully designed for patients living with complicated immune-related conditions.
Overview

Mastering the complexity of biological therapies.

Biological and biosimilar therapies are precision-engineered, typically designed to target a singular immune pathway experiencing dysfunction in specific rheumatological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, or rare conditions.

Unlike traditional medications, these are products meticulously derived from living organisms (typically nucleic acids, proteins, and/or sugars) that are then grown in a biological environment. At LUX Infusion, we take over complexities behind the science and logistics, so you can focus on day-to-day health and stability.

Rheumatology & autoimmune joint disease

Targeted therapies to protect joint health and mobility.

In rheumatoid arthritis and other similar conditions, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the joints and spine, leading to an inflammatory cycle that causes pain and stiffness. Biologic and biosimilar therapies are designed to interrupt this specific autoimmune activity by neutralizing the overactive proteins (like TNF or interleukins) that drive this damage. This recalibration of the immune system helps to halt the progression of inflammatory damage.

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (Seropositive, Seronegative, Rheumatoid Factor, and Subtypes)
  • Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Psoriatic Arthritis
  • Ankylosing Spondylitis

Coordinated treatment support

At LUX Infusion, we are highly experienced in treating conditions that leave patients with debilitating joint pain, so we focus heavily on providing the clinical oversight needed to protect your mobility and peace of mind. Whether you receive your infusion on-site or through specialized home-based care, our team manages the complexities of highly-technical therapies alongside all other logistics to make sure you can stay focused on your health and quality of life.

Reliable therapy coordination

LUX Infusion serves as a vigilant extension of your rheumatology practice, ensuring your patients’ protocols are executed with clinician-led precision across all settings, providing a seamless transition to either home-based or on-site therapy while maintaining consistent data report on your patients’ progress.

Gastrointestinal inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)

Precision care for Crohn’s, Colitis, and their complications.

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, such as Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis, are characterized by chronic, relapsing inflammation of the digestive tract due to an immune system that mistakenly attacks its lining, leading to tissue breakdown and long-term structural complications. Biologic therapies address this by blocking the specific “signaling” molecules that draw inflammatory cells to the gut. This “precision strike” allows the intestinal lining to heal and helps patients achieve clinical remission, significantly reducing the risk of flare-ups and secondary complications.

  • Crohn’s Disease
    • Enteritis / Intestinal Obstruction / Fistula management
  • Ulcerative Colitis

Advocacy for your GI health

Maintaining long-term stability for inflammatory digestive illnesses demands consistent, expertly-managed care. We coordinate your treatment to fit your life—not the other way around—offering infusion services both in our infusion locations and at home to ensure your therapy remains a seamless, stress-free part of your recovery.

A specialized clinical partner

We streamline the transition to IBD therapy with 4-hour referral responses and proactive authorization management. Our clinician-led team facilitates therapy on-site or at home, maintaining the high-touch oversight required to reduce gaps in care, achieve mucosal healing, lower the risk of secondary complications, and promote long-term patient adherence.

Dermatological conditions

Advanced therapies for systemic skin healing.

Certain inflammatory conditions strongly affect the skin alongside its effects to other internal tissues, such as the painful rashes of Dermatomyositis or the firm lumps caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis. These symptoms are driven by specific “messenger” proteins that trigger a cycle of skin tissue damage. Biologic therapies are engineered to intervene by precisely neutralizing these proteins to halt the attack at its source which helps clear visible skin lesions while also protecting the muscles, blood vessels, and organs from further damage.

  • Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
    • Dermatomyositis (DM)
    • Polymyositis (PM)
  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Kawasaki Disease (Medium-Sized Vessel Vasculitides)

Protecting you and your skin

The journey to obtaining clearer skin in the context of autoimmune disorders can be a delicate balancing act. At LUX infusion, we not only ensure your biologic infusions are delivered safely and consistently (either on-site or at home), but we also communicate updates in your health closely to your specialists to promote tangible results.

Expert execution of specialty protocols

We work alongside dermatologists, immunologists, and other specialists to remove friction from the process of initiating biologic therapies with a dedicated authorization and appeals team. Once therapy begins either on-site or at home, we work tirelessly to eliminate the logistical barriers that often interfere with therapy to increase the chances of long-term success.

Rare & Orphan Diseases

Specialized biologics for rare clinical needs.

Though a disease needs to affect fewer than 200,000 people to be considered “rare,” there are as many as 10,000 of these conditions, with an estimated 30 million people suffering from them across the U.S.

Rare and orphan diseases often involve highly specific genetic or molecular malfunctions that trigger unique inflammatory or metabolic pathways. Since they are often driven by a single missing protein or a rare signaling error, they require specialized biologics that can reach targets traditional medications cannot.

A controlled experience for rare diseases

When it comes to rare conditions, there is no room for error. Our team provides high-touch clinical monitoring for every infusion, whether that occurs within one of our infusion centers, or at home. If your health changes unexpectedly, we’ll provide close communication to the specialists in charge of your care.

Your anchor for complex care

LUX Infusion serves as an anchor for the complex logistics and clinical considerations of rare disease management. Whether your patient is receiving care in one of our tightly-controlled infusion centers or with nursing staff at home, we handle all details related to procurement, scheduling, and administration to ensure optimal clinical outcomes for patients, while also closely communicating clinical changes with your practice.

Reimagining biologic therapy at LUX Infusion

Biologics are living therapies whose delicate and unforgiving nature demands a higher standard of vigilance. At LUX Infusion, we’ve re-designed the overall infusion experience to reflect that same level of precision, all while removing as much complexity as possible for the patients themselves. Patients experience the difference in several ways:

  • Rapid Initiation: We provide a 4-hour turnaround from referral to welcome call, clearing obstacles out of the path to therapy as quickly as possible.
  • Proactive Advocacy: LUX Infusion leverages a dedicated nurse benefits and appeals team to handle authorizations and appeals to prevent logistics from interrupting treatment.
  • Site Flexibility: We believe care should happen where a patient is the safest and the most comfortable, so we make therapy available not only in our patient-focused infusion locations, but also at home through our expert nursing staff. 
  • Dynamic Communication: Our teams not only administer your therapy, but actively monitor your response to it—when there is a change in your health or tolerance to treatment, we make sure your prescriber or specialist team is aware. This helps to ensure your care plan continues to reflect what’s happening between office visits.
Biologics & Biosimilars FAQ

Understanding biologic therapy

Traditional medications are typically chemically synthesized in a lab and have a relatively simple molecular structure.

Biologics and biosimilars are far more complex, as they are grown from living cells. Because of this “living” origin, they are highly sensitive to how they are handled, stored, and administered. At LUX Infusion, we manage these therapies with clinician-led precision to ensure that the medication’s integrity and effectiveness are protected from the moment it leaves the pharmacy until it is administered.

Biologics are complex medications derived from living sources, such as cells or proteins. A biosimilar is a highly similar, FDA-approved version of an existing biologic. Both provide “precision strikes” against specific immune pathways that experience dysfunction in a variety of conditions.

Yes. To be FDA-approved, a biosimilar must demonstrate that it is “highly similar” to the original biologic (the reference product) and that there are no clinically or meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity, or potency. We treat biosimilar administration with the same rigorous oversight and monitoring we apply to all high-stakes therapies.

Yes. The decision to administer a biologic infusion in the home or at an infusion center depends on the specific medication and your provider’s recommendation. Wherever your treatment is given, we ensure close clinical oversight to maintain safety and comfort throughout your whole infusion journey.

Absolutely. We recognize that your needs may change over time. If your condition is stable and your provider agrees that home-based care is a safe and effective option, LUX Infusion facilitates a seamless transition. We manage the logistical shift—from coordinating nursing schedules to to maintaining close clinical oversight—so that the “site of care” adapts to your life, not the other way around.

Yes. Receiving high-precision therapy requires meticulous and continuous oversight. We document your responses to therapy and maintain a feedback loop with your prescriber to serve as their “eyes and ears” between doctor’s office visits to promote optimized health outcomes.

We know that biologics can be a significant financial investment, and we believe cost should never be a gap in your care.

Our nurse benefit and appeals team acts as your proactive advocates, researching and facilitating access to manufacturer co-pay cards, foundation assistance, community outreach programs, and other financial programs. What’s more—we’ll handle the paperwork and the follow-ups so that your access to therapy is less at risk of being interrupted by administrative or financial barriers.
