FDA Guidelines for Biosimilars

The FDA guidelines for biosimilars provide a framework for approving biologic drugs that are highly similar to an already approved reference product. Biosimilars must demonstrate no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, and potency compared to the original drug. This involves rigorous testing and data review to ensure that patients receive effective and safe treatments. The goal is to enhance access to these complex medications while ensuring they meet strict regulatory standards, thereby fostering competition in the marketplace, which can lead to lower prices for patients.
