Session 3: Value/Relevance of Clinical Data: Challenges of Designing Clinical Studies and Generating Clinical Data
Session Chair(s)
Julie Ann Rosenberg, MD
Development Asset Lead, Oncology Biosimilars, Pfizer Essential Health
Pfizer, Inc., United States
This session dives deep into the challenges of biosimilar clinical trial study design and implementation, as well as the challenges of generating clinical data and its contribution in supporting a claim of biosimilarity. Sponsors must conduct clinical studies that are adequately sensitive to detect clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar product and the comparator product. There may be significant challenges in replicating the original trial population of reference product vs placebo-controlled superiority trial. Recruitment for the trial may be difficult as it may not be of interest to either academicians or patients who have access to newer therapeutic agents. Further, the market for biosimilars clinical trials is crowded, with many sponsors conducting studies with similar clinical trial designs, competing for a limited patient pool
