Benefit on Early Detailed Characterization<br />

[…] a reduction in the data requirements is possible for biosimilars, the prelicensing<br />

data package is nevertheless substantial. Similarity in physicochemical<br />

characteristics is a prerequisite for a possible reduction in nonclinical and clinical<br />

data requirements.<br />

The amount of possible data reduction depends on how well the molecule can<br />

be characterized by state-of-the-art analytical methods, on observed or<br />

potential differences between the biosimilar and the reference product, and the<br />

clinical experience gained with the reference product and/or the substance class […].<br />
