Session 9: Transitions and Interchangeability
Session Chair(s)
Thomas Felix, MD
Medical Director, R&D Policy, Global Regulatory Affairs and Safety, Amgen Inc., United States
The session will span the current state of global discourse on biosimilar product single transitions conducted under medical supervision to the US concept of interchangeability intended to guide pharmacy-level substitution of self-administered biologics. We will start with a review of terminology to level-set and focus on concepts that are globally discussed, but often with confusing terms. International and US perspectives will be contribute to the discussion. If the NOR-SWITCH study results are released, these will be highlighted. If the US FDA draft guidance on interchangeability is released prior to this meeting it will be reviewed.
