There is increasing attention for management of safety information and safety profiles for biosimilar products. Thoughts are evolving, but main issues remain how to distinguish between products, and how similar/dissimilar biosimilars really are from a safety perspective.
In this session, we will explore new thinking and updates on biosimilars. FDA speakers will present on the basics of biosimilars and the scientific approach to demonstrating biosimilarity. Immunogenicity and other safety aspects, as well as naming conventions for biosimilars will also be discussed. Lastly, an industry perspective on issues and specific safety concerns with biosimilar studies will be presented.
