DEMONSTRATING INTERCHANGEABILITY?
How much data?
– Molecular complexity – Level of similarity – Knowledge of impact of differences – Known risks e.g. immune related reactions Interchangeability study – Switch study generally required (unless e.g. single administration) US Reference (12 mths):
US Ref. Biosimilar (4 x 3 mths) – Pimary Endpoint: AUC τ and C max (steady state after last switch ; ensure reference washed out); Margin 80 – 125% – Secondary Endpoint: PD, Immunogenicity, Safety, Efficacy. Biosimilar US Ref.

DEMONSTRATING INTERCHANGEABILITY?
Post -marketing Safety Monitoring Considerations Take into consideration
– any particular safety or effectiveness concerns associated reference product or putative interchangeable product – the specific condition of use and patient population, and patient exposure in the interchangeability development program. ● Post marketing safety monitoring for an interchangeable product should also have adequate pharmacovigilance mechanisms in place.
