Biosimilars
Biosimilars provides an overview of the science, biomanufacturing technology, and regulatory requirements for receiving approval to market biosimilar products. The course begins by taking an in-depth look at the science, specifically how a therapeutic protein’s structure dictates its function. With this foundational knowledge, users understand how biomanufacturing conditions can alter a biosimilar, causing it to function differently than its reference product. The course ends with various tested approaches to demonstrating biosimilarity that have been acceptable to the FDA and EMA.
Takeaways
- Describe how a protein’s structure dictates its function and how post-translational modifications can change a protein’s intended function.
- Define the term biosimilar.
- Discuss how biosimilars may differ from its reference product once it has been manufactured.
- Explain the FDA and EMA requirements for approval of a biosimilar product and the underlying scientific/quality/regulatory principles involved.
- Describe the general considerations of animal/clinical/in vitro studies, as well as the FDA’s Totality-of-the-Evidence approach.
