Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements regarding ‘Biosimilars’
- Biosimilar is a biological product that is very similar to a reference biologic and for which there are no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity, and potency
- Unlike with generic drugs, biosimilars generally exhibit lower molecular complexity
- Biosimilars are officially approved versions of original innovator products and can be manufactured only when the original product’s patent is valid
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Incorrect A biosimilar is a biological product that is very similar to a reference biologic and for which there are no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity, and potency. Unlike with generic drugs of the more common small-molecule type, biologics generally exhibit high molecular complexity and may be quite sensitive to changes in manufacturing processes. Despite that heterogeneity, all biopharmaceuticals, including biosimilars, must maintain consistent quality and clinical performance throughout their lifecycle Biosimilars are officially approved versions of original “innovator” products and can be manufactured when the original product’s patent expires. Reference to the innovator product is an integral component of the approval.
