It’s been a long time coming.
In August, the FDA published it’s highly anticipated draft guidance on naming biosimilars. Massive controversy has erupted over whether biosimilars need to be named differently from their originals, and if so, how.
What do doctors and patients need to know, and what will just confuse them? The WHO and the EMA have their own alternative naming schemes under consideration. China, Australia and Mexico are weighing in as well.
In this webinar, Kevin Nelson, an expert in pharmaceutical intellectual property law, will explain:
• The genesis of the issue: how small molecule products are named and why
• The arguments and policy concerns on both sides of the naming dispute prior to the FDA’s guidance
• Deep dive into the FDA’s guidance: what questions were answered and what questions remain
• Naming in practice: Sandoz’s Zarxio, a.k.a. filgrastim-sndz — why the FDA needed to implement a naming guidance now
• Putting the cart before the horse: what about interchangeability?
Get the whole story on biosimilars today, and be ready for this new field as it develops.
