biosimilars 

On February 9, 2012, almost 3 years after the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) of 2009 amended section 351(k) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act to create a legal pathway for biosimilars in the US, the FDA published the series of draft guidance documents listed below to define their recommendations for biosimilars development. These draft documents are open for comment for 60 days from the publication date. The final biosimilars development documents are likely to differ from the drafts.

Charles River delivers client-focused solutions for the specific testing and manufacturing requirements of your biosimilars.
Biosimilars, like the reference biologic products, are complex protein structures that are difficult to characterize. Therefore, a biosimilars development program consisting of analytical and bioanalytical assays, pharmacology and/or toxicology studies in animals and clinical trials are required to show that biosimilars are highly similar to the reference biologic product. Biosimilar production processes are highly complex, expensive and can be difficult to control, so it is essential to work with a provider that can perform the full development program while providing the control essential to product uniformity. Our experience working with biologics across the drug development continuum, together with our scientific and regulatory expertise, makes Charles River an ideal partner for your biosimilar development.
