Bioequivalence Studies : Bioequivalence studies are a critical component of generic drug development.
It aims to ensure the quality of medicines by employing statistical, analytical, and risk-management methodology in the design, development, and manufacturing processes of medicines. Biosimilars are biologic medical products that almost exactly replicate products already being manufactured by other companies.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) play a vital role in ensuring that generic drugs meet the necessary standards for quality, safety, and efficacy. One of the main challenges is ensuring bioequivalence with the innovator drug. EU, and other regions. ” Scientific Research Publishing , 2024.
The development of biological products (or biologics) represents a major advancement in modern medicine, enabling the treatment of patients with many illnesses where no other therapeutics were previously available. The role of pharmacometrics for biosimilars is no less significant than for biologics.
