Biosimilars in the US, Europe and Canada - Webinar by GlobalCompliancePanel

Overview: The approach to biosimilars in the US, Europe and Canada has differed significantly. Trying to develop and market a biosimilar involves careful consideration. Among the issues to consider carefully are the Reference Product, requirements for chemical/biological comparison of the Reference Product to the Test Product, the nature of the bridging clinical study that has to be done, whether any nonclinical studies need to be conducted, what immunological characterization will need to be done. The process for getting an approval of a biosimilar in these three jurisdictions is also different and will be reviewed. 
The presentation will review biosimilars approved to date and any associated post marketing requirements. Finally, interchangeability and reimbursement of biosimilars will be discussed.

Why Should You Attend :Understanding the approval process for biosimilars is difficult and confusing. The first stumbling block is the choice of the Reference Product and how transferable clinical studies are across jurisdictions. Understanding how to put an R&D program together varies across jurisdictions and trying to synergize these requirements can be difficult. Understand what companies/products have been successful. Once approved, understand whether these products can be reimbursed and interchanged, and therefore what the marketing possibilities are.
