New regulations affecting biosimilars in the USA and Europe and its impact on biosimilar adoption

There are new regulations affecting 576 biosimilars in development in the USA and Europe. This workshop will describe the new regulations for the purpose of obtaining delegate comments on whether the new regulations will have a positive or negative impact on biosimilar adoption in the market place. Once the impact is characterized, the workshop will develop several scenarios of biosimilar adoption resulting from the implementation of the new regulations.

Session 1 - Biosimilar Interchangeability: The newest regulation in the USA

Michel  Mikhail

Michel Mikhail, International Expert in Regulatory Affairs, International Expert in Biosimilars,

In the USA only interchangeable products can be substituted for
the reference product by a pharmacist without the intervention of a health care provider. The interchangeability regulation is in the form of guidance:

  • Interchangeable biologics must be biosimilar to the reference biologic
  • If administered more than once, data must show the safety and effi cacy risks of switching
  • If not administered more than once, justify the omission of a switching study
  • The clinical data must demonstrate switching risk in a ll of the reference biologic’s licensed conditions of use
  • The data must support the “totality of the evidence” and “reduction of residual uncertainty”
  • Switching study design is defined and described in the guidance
  • Guidance describes what is insuffi cient to demonstrate interchangeability
  • The use of post-marketing data from a biosimilar
  • The presentation and design attributes must be the same to enable substitution

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
