Appearing:
Day one - Wed 24 Feb 2010

Practical overview of clinical development for biosimilars

  • Are Biosimilar really just Biogenerics?
  • The preclinical requirement for comparability. How does that differ from non-biological generics?
  • How different is the clinical development plan of a Biosimilar?
  • What are the regulatory hurdles for biosimilars in Europe and the US
  • Practical aspects of selecting endpoints – are they different from efficacy studies for new molecules?
  •  Are the statistical approaches the same as in innovator clinical development?
  • Are there particular differences in the safety and pharmacovigilance requirements?
  • The spectrum of immunogenicity – Damocles sword or market opportunity?
  • Is it possible to extend the number of indications beyond those covered in the clinical trials?
