The engine of the biosimilar sector is the same as with small molecule drugs, patent expiry. On this basis, prospects for biosimilars look good, with the vast majority of leading originator brands in the global biologics market expected to lose some degree of protection by 2019. All major countries now make provision for an abbreviated biosimilar development and regulatory pathway. Funds are flowing into the sector and many new partnership agreements have been signed. Everything in the biosimilar garden might look rosy, but what is the reality?
Biosimilar sales of $16+ billion were forecast in the EU and US alone for 2011.This estimate turned out to be 50-times too high. Does publication of the long-awaited guidance on the US Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act mean a new dawn for biosimilars, or another false one? Written with the understandable detail and objectivity you need, Biosimilars: Current Situation & Future Prospects, Worldwide provides the answers, including:
- On the basis of several years market experience in Europe and Japan, which biosimilars have experienced greatest success and why
- Analytical discussion of the complexities of biological patents
- The big controversies with biosimilars explained: Sourcing of reference products, similarity, naming, interchangeability, immunogenicity, traceability, indication extrapolation
- Where payers incentivize usage of biosimilars
- The importance of devices to administer biosimilars.
- Which companies are most active in biosimilar development, what are their targets and what is their developmental status
- Where biosimilar prospects are brightest through 2016
