Biological products which are biosimilars of reference products are not automatically interchangeable under FDA guidelines. This session will detail our current understanding of FDA expectations for demonstration of interchangeability of a biological product with a reference product with regards to study designs, duration of switches, PK/PD immunogenicity sampling, statistical analysis, and product presentation considerations.

Learning Objectives

Compare and contrast biosimilarity versus interchangeability; Describe an overview of FDA expectations for demonstration of interchangeability; Describe standalone versus combined interchangeability study designs.
