The objective of this document is to provide principles for assessing the comparability of biotechnological/ biological products before and after changes are made in the manufacturing process for the drug substance or drug product. Therefore, this guideline is intended to assist in the collection of relevant technical information which serves as evidence that the manufacturing process changes will not have an adverse impact on the quality, safety and efficacy of the drug product. The document does not prescribe any particular analytical, nonclinical or clinical strategy. The main emphasis of the document is on quality aspects. • Final: September 2004 • Comparability: One-Way Interchangeability (Hidden from Public) FDA • Comparability – Guidance Concerning Demonstration of Comparability of Human Biologic Products, Including Therapeutic Biotechnology-derived Products (April 1996)—CBER and CDER – Guidance on Comparability Protocols: CMC Information (Draft February 2003)—CDER, CBER, CVM • • • • • • Menotropins 505(j) approval/court cases Draft 505(b)(2) guidance/citizen petitions (draft 1999) Omnitrope approval—505(b)(2), May 31, 2006 Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 6 437 2007 CDER Testimony March 26, 2007 FDA Presentations – Deputy Director/Office of Pharmaceutical Science/September 2007 – Office of Biotechnology Products/Office of Pharmaceutical Science/September 2007 FDA Timeline BPCIA: Public Hearing: NEJM Article: Guidances: Public Hearing: – – – – 2009 November 2010 August 2011 February 2012 May 2012 Demonstrating interchangeability Obtaining reference product exclusivity Naming issues Clinical pharmacology evaluation of biosimilars – Additional topics FDA Guidances • Scientific Considerations in Demonstrating Biosimilarity to a Reference Product • Quality Considerations in Demonstrating Biosimilarity to a Reference Product • Biosimilars: Questions and Answers Regarding Implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 February 2012 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Title VII—IMPROVING ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE MEDICAL THERAPIES Subtitle A—Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Section 7001.

Approval Pathway for Biosimilar Biological Products (a) Licensure of Biological Products as Biosimilar or InterchangeableSection 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) is amended— – ‘(k) Licensure of Biological Products as Biosimilar or Interchangeable (1) IN GENERAL – Any person may submit an application for licensure of a biologic product under this section.

BPCIA and USP (2) • (II) the biological product and reference product utilize the same mechanism or mechanisms of action for the condition or conditions of use precribed, recommended, or suggested in the proposed labeling, but only to the extent the mechanism or mechanisms of action are known for the reference product; • (III) the condition or conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling proposed for the biologic product have been previously approved for the reference product; • (IV) the route of administration, the dosage form, and the strength of the biological product are the same as those of the reference product; and • (V) the facility in which the biologic product is manufactured, processed, packed, or held meets standards designed to assure that the biologic product continues to be safe, pure, and potent. – (ii) DETERMINATION BY SECRETARY- The Secretary may determine, in the Secretary’s discretion, that an element described in clause (i)(I) is unnecessary in an application submitted under this subsection. – (iii) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION- An application submitted under this subsection— • (I) shall include publicly-available information regarding the Secretary’s previous determination that the reference product is safe, pure, and potent; and • (II) may include any additional information in support of the application, including publicly available information with respect to the reference product or another biological product. (B) INTERCHANGEABILITY- An application (or a supplement to an application) submitted under this subsection may include information demonstrating that the biological product meets the standards described in paragraph (4). BPCIA and IBE Upon review of an application submitted under this subsection or any supplement to such application, the Secretary shall determine the biological product to be interchangeable with the reference product if the Secretary determines that the information submitted in the application (or a supplement to such application) is sufficient to show that— – (A) the biologic product— • (i) is biosimilar to the reference product; and • (ii) can be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient; and – (B) for a biological product that is administrated more than once to an individual, the risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy of alternating or switching between use of the biological product and the reference product is not greater than the risk of using the reference product without such alternation or switch. Individual Bioequivalence: Bioavailability of the new formulation is sufficiently close to that of the standard in most individuals. … When switching a patient [between formulations] want reasonable assurance that the patient will get the same efficacy .. individual bioequivalence is required Anderson & Hauck, 1990, JPB Current Biologic Products in the Market From Kozlowski et al., NEJM 265;5, 2011 Topics BPCI USP Summary An Early USP Monograph FDC Act : Section 501(b) - Adulteration A drug or device shall be deemed to be adulterated if it purports to be or is represented as a drug the name of which is recognized in an official compendium, and its strength differs from, or its quality or purity falls below, the standards set forth in such compendium. Such determination as to strength, quality, or purity shall be made in accordance with the tests or methods of assay set forth in such compendium… 2010–2015 USP Council of Experts 18 Biologics Standards Horizontal Standards Topics BPCI USP Summary Biologics In India Drug Trade Name Nonproprietary Name Molecule Class Innovator Market Entry 2008 Sales in B$ Monograph in-house?
