Past experiences of FDA regarding 10-20 year life cycle changes of biologics has paved the way to entering into biosimilars – a new paradigm is emerging. In spite of the rich and varied European experience the FDA takes its own unique course. FDA advisory style meetings in a first step would determine eligibility of a new biosimilar candidate and for further meetings fees are charged as part of the new BsUFA . What genuine opportunities are there for harmonised US/EU and worldwide development? The selection of reference product dosage form and presentation has become more strategic than in the past years. Controversies towards regulatory clinical milestones need also to be crtically considered.
The session will focus on establishing the swiftest pathway for registration of Biosimilars in USA
