Why Should You Attend:

A large number of companies are looking for ways to enter the Biosimilars market, but first they have to overcome the regulatory barriers. Despite high regulatory barriers in Europe and issues of interchangeability there have been a number of successful product launches. Across the Atlantic, progress has been much slower but the situation is changing with the long awaited legislation and FDA guidelines now in place to simplify biosimilars registration. How is the legislation actually working out and is it what the generic industry was hoping for?

The US is the largest and highest priced market for pharmaceuticals anywhere in the world. It therefore represents a very tempting target for companies wanting to launch copies of the very high-priced biological products with their multi-billion dollar turnovers.

The aim of this webinar is to provide insight for non-regulatory people into the US regulatory procedure for registration of the biosimilar copies of these money-spinners. It puts the US procedures into a geographical and historical context, looks at the precedent set by the EMA, how the FDA is now playing catch up, and who have been the winners and losers so far, what FDA is asking for and how to avoid failures.
