Additional information

Who is it for

Employees working in researching and development of biosimilars, performing analytical and functional evaluations and reviewing regulatory submissions should complete this module.
Why it matters

Biosimilar approval by regulatory bodies require a lot less clinical data when compared to innovator biological drugs. Analytical and functional assessment to establish similarity constitutes the biggest chunk of data requirement in biosimilar approvals. Understanding totality of the evidence as well as the basic research premise to establishing biosimilarity is important. This ensures that the previously proven safety and efficacy of the reference biological product also applies to the biosimilar
