Biosimilars - The Future Transformation of Product Exclusivity in the Biotechnology Arena
Summary
The nature of biotechnology has, up until recently, prevented the threat of generic intrusion on product sales. Biologics are difficult to replicate compared to small molecules and even slight differences in manufacturing processes could lead to significant clinical differences.
The US government is poised to address the need for a process by which “similar” biologics or proteins can be approved and brought to market. Two legislations are on the table, one more closely resembling recently enacted laws in Europe.
This report uncovers how the US biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industry will soon change in dramatic ways as we see the introduction of biosimilars. While the actual laws and legislation that will usher in this new era have yet to be finalized, players are already setting up to be the first to take advantage of any new opening for this competitive biotech arena.
