Consider the following statements regarding ‘Biosimilars’
Select the correct statements

Statement Analysis:
| Statement 1 | Statement 2 | Statement 3 |
| Correct | Incorrect | Incorrect |

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. |
