As some biologics are reaching the end of their patent, a sponsor may pursue “similar” biological products for marketing approval. The sponsor needs to demonstrate that the test products are biosimilar to the reference products in a three-stage process. Analytical assessment, as the first stage, becomes extremely important. Due to the limited sample size (number of lots) and numerous, some quite complex, quality attributes, the statistical “similarity” comparison is difficult, with multiple issues arising.
The objective of this session is for statisticians from regulatory agencies, academia and industry to share their knowledge and experience, and to cultivate skills and paths leading to successful development of biosimilar products. The session will consist of 3 oral presentations followed by a panel discussion led by organizers and speakers.
