Abstract :

The regulatory landscape for the development of biosimilars in the US and EU is dynamic as many of the guidance issued by European Medicines Agency (EMA) are undergoing revisions and the FDA has issued another guidance on clinical pharmacology this year. The thinking of the regulators both in the EU and US has evolved over the years and there is a great deal of convergence. This session is designed to provide current status of biosimilar guidelines in the US and EU. The focus will be to identify the similarities and differences between FDA and EMA guidelines in order to help sponsors navigate through the complex requirements for the regulatory approval of biosimilars in the US and EU.
