Comparison of BRICS-TM Countries' Biosimilar Regulatory Frameworks With Australia, Canada and Switzerland: Benchmarking Best Practices

Abstract: Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify, compare and evaluate regulatory requirements for the biosimilar development and review processes in BRICS-TM (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Turkey, Mexico) countries with mature regulatory systems of Australia, Canada, Singapore and Switzerland. It is hoped that this benchmark study provides an opportunity for BRICS-TM agencies to identify the key areas for improvement in their regulatory processes.Materials and Methods: A semi-quantitative quest… Show more

“…Biosimilar products are complex molecules produced using highly complex manufacturing processes. Due to the complexity of the biosimilar products, regulatory requirements for analytical comparability, non-clinical, and clinical studies vary with the geographies (25), particularly in emerging economies like BRICS-TM, as evident from the secondary research (8). Furthermore, with multiple prospective manufacturers on the horizon, the need arises for a streamlined regulatory guideline in emerging economies that ensure biosimilarity, comparability, and interchangeability with respect to safety and efficacy of the product (25).…”

Although substantial progress has been made in regulatory frameworks for chemical drugs, progress is less robust in developing countries, and implementing regulatory frameworks for biologic medicines, particularly biosimilar medicines (26).…”
