Decisions regarding the approval and use of biosimilars must be driven by sound science and take into account several observations and guiding principles, including: 1. The size, complexity, and heterogeneity of biologics (and thus biosimilars) necessitate a greater degree of scrutiny in their analytical evaluation than what is required for small molecule generics. 2. In addition to adequate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies, clinical data are necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of biosimilars, and to provide the necessary level of confidence for their use by patients and providers.
