Biosimilars 2016

Preview the New Agenda for DIA Biosimilars 2016, the Premier Global Biosimilars Conference.

Overview

October 26: Short Course (PM)*
October 27-28: Conference
Short Course: Navigating the Complexities of Biosimilar Clinical Trial Development

*Short Courses require registration and are an additional fee.


The development of biosimilars is increasing at a rapid pace in all global regions, including the US with FDA’s approval of multiple biosimilars. With their potential for improving access to effective biological therapies through reduced costs, biosimilars have garnered great interest among industry, regulators, and payers. Biosimilars 2016 will address issues around biosimilars science, global regulatory pathways, evidence for clinical applications, and education for prescribers and patients that are key to successful uptake of these products.
Network early and start engaging on social media using the hashtag #DIABiosimilars2016.

Continuing-Education

Exhibits

Who should attend?

  • Pharmaceutical Executives
  • Biomedical Product Developers
  • Regulatory Affairs Professionals
  • Clinical and Nonclinical Researchers
  • Biostatisticians and Data Managers

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this conference, participants should be able to:

  • Describe how the totality of evidence, including CMC, in vitro, nonclinical, and clinical data, can be amalgamated to demonstrate biosimilarity and meet regulatory expectations for approval of biosimilar applications
  • Discuss the concept of the clinical relevance of critical quality attributes and the assessment of their impact on potency, PK, immunogenicity, and safety 
  • Explain the extent to which critical quality attributes need to align with the reference product and the application of statistical approaches that will meet regulatory requirements for acceptance of biosimilarity
  • Discuss the challenges in generating the requisite clinical data to confirm biosimilarity and considerations for designing a successful biosimilar clinical trials program to meet global requirements
  • Examine the impact of  adoption of biosimilars and (potentially) interchangeable biologics by prescribers and health care professionals on their introduction to patients
  • Outline the need and potential approaches for education on the concept and value of biosimilars
