Biosimilars in the EU: Information Guide for Healthcare Professionals

Summary
Access

Since the EU approved the first biosimilar medicine (‘biosimilar’) in 2006, the EU has pioneered the regulation of biosimilars. Over the past 10 years, the EU has approved the highest number of biosimilars worldwide, amassing considerable experience of their use and safety.
This guide has been jointly developed by the EMA and European commission with the objective of providing healthcare professionals with reference information on both the science and regulation underpinning the use of biosimilars.

Safety, Immunogenicity and Interchangeability of Biosimilar Monoclonal Antibodies and Fusion Proteins: A Regulatory Perspective

Summary
Access

This is a comprehensive analysis of prelicensing and postmarketing safety surveillance reports from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of all biosimilar mAbs and fusion proteins approved before August 2020. The findings support the conclusion that EU-approved biosimilars are highly similar and interchangeable with their reference products, negating the need for additional systematic switch studies.​

Biosimilars in the EU: Information Guide for Healthcare Professionals

Summary
Access

The European Commission has prepared this paper in order to provide payers, physicians and patients with adequate information on biosimilars. It gives a detailed overview of biologics and biosimilars, regulation and development of biosimilars, potential economic consequences of using biosimilars as well as Q&A sections for each of the key stakeholders.

Interchangeability of Biosimilars: A European Perspective

Summary
Access

The introduction of biosimilars has shown that even complex proteins used for chronic disease treatment can be successfully copied. This in turn triggered discussions on aspects such as interchangeability between biosimilars and their reference products as well as immunogenicity profile of biosimilars.
