Session 3: Streamlining Biosimilar Clinical Development

Session Chair(s)

Cecil J. Nick, MS

FTOPRA, Vice President (Technical)

Parexel Consulting, United Kingdom

This session addresses ways in which the clinical development of biosimilars can be streamlined exploring issues at to what extent current study designs contribute data that add value to the biosimilarity assessment. In particular is therapeutic equivalence adding value and to what extent CMC, PK and immunogenicity data can address therapeutic effect without the need for direct therapeutic equivalence trials.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
Appraise the clinical data requirements to support determination of biosimilarity
Justify situations where therapeutic equivalence data may not be required
Design and justify an optimal clinical development program to support determination of biosimliarity
