Biosimilars North America is returning to New Jersey this November

SMi Group: Registration is now open for the 3rd Annual Biosimilars USA conference in New Jersey this November! End Quote

(1888PressRelease) June 08, 2016 - While biosimilars are not new in EMEA and few APAC countries (such as Korea and Japan), commercialization in the US has been extremely slow. Resistance from patients, defence from originators and unclear regulatory approval process all contributed to a slower start. While the first product, Zarxio, was approved in March 2015, the product did not actually come to market until Sept due to BPCIA - which Sandoz is filing this landmark case to the Supreme Court against originator Amgen.

At the same time, FDA is about to release the final guidelines of biosimilars immunogenicity assessment, and the first draft of interchangeability of biosimilars in 2016 - which will no doubts drive commercialization and more approvals.

As such, the 3rd Annual Biosimilars North America (Woodbridge Hotel, Iselin, New Jersey, USA, November 16-17, 2016) will provide timely discussion with case studies to reference to, and regulatory updates for participants to ensure both clinical and commercial success to replenish their pipelines!

This year's agenda will feature case studies from leading biosimilars developers, discussing how do they navigate through the regulatory and commercial environment. This is the only conference that delve into the whole value chain of biosimilars - from science to legal to marketing.

• Edric Engert, Senior Vice President, Biosimilars, Teva Pharmaceuticals
• Gustavo Grampp, Ph.D., Director R&D Policy - Biosimilars, Amgen Inc.
