Biologics differ from small molecule drugs in that they are:

Rarely immunogenic

Quite stable

Very large

Almost impossible to characterize fully

Why is it important to have a stable and repetitive manufacturing process?

To allow untrained personel operate it

To ensure correct product identity

To permit full automatism

It is not so important

What is a relation between a biosimilar and the reference biologic?

They are identical

They are highly similar

They are like 2 lots of the same biologic

They must be manufactured in an identical way

Interchangeability of biosimilars

In not included in the recommendations of EMA

In the US it means that a drug can be replaced at a pharmacy level

In Europe the doctor is expected to take the decision on biosimilar treatement

Is forbidden in the US
