Why is there no biosimilar of Erbitux®?

open access: yesJournal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2023
Monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapies have been a major advance in oncology patient care, even though they represent a significant healthcare cost. Biosimilars, launched in Europe in 2004 are an economically attractive alternative to expensive originator biological drugs. They also increase the competitiveness of pharmaceutical development.

Science of Biosimilars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Oncology Practice, 2017
Biosimilar therapeutic proteins in oncology offer the potential to decrease costs while providing safety and efficacy profiles consistent with their respective reference or originator products. Biosimilars have a number of important differences from generic small-molecule drugs, including manufacturing processes that are unique from their reference ...

A single‐centre analysis of a biosimilar switching programme for adalimumab in inflammatory bowel disease

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amgevita is a licensed biosimilar to adalimumab, having demonstrated high pharmacokinetic and clinical similarity to Humira. Switching to a lower‐cost medicine may elicit a nocebo effect, whereby expectations of poorer efficacy impact outcomes despite pharmacological similarity. This prospective cohort study examined clinical and economic outcomes

Biologics and biosimilars

open access: yesJournal of Dermatological Treatment, 2015
Biological drugs are large, complex glycoprotein molecules produced in living organisms. Revolutionary treatments for many conditions, biologics used in dermatology will face patent expiration, opening opportunities for competitive versions. Biologic drugs are so complex such that it is impossible to reproduce them exactly.

Biosimilars and Regulatory Authorities [PDF]

open access: yesNephron Clinical Practice, 2010
The patent expirations for many biotechnological medicines have prompted the development of copies of biological medicinal products. Unlike generics, biosimilars are similar but not identical to their reference product, because their chemical characteristics are directly related to the manufacturing process which cannot be precisely duplicated.

Sentinel dosing: A proposed algorithm to guide decision making on which cohorts in early phase clinical pharmacology trials should use this approach

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim The aim of this paper is to describe a proposal for an algorithm to guide decision making on which cohorts in early phase pharmacology trials should employ a sentinel approach, thereby standardising and harmonising practices, and improving decision making around sentinel dosing.
