Although the potential rewards are high, unlike generics, biosimilar development costs are high with some industry leaders claiming estimates of $100-150 million. Even after this substantial investment there is no guarantee of immediate return. With the FDA, America's regulatory body, struggling to agree on a suitable approval pathway for biosimilars to reach market in the U.S. and similar marketing and associated costs to innovator drugs, biosimilars have their work cut out. Join SMi at their third Biosimilars and Biobetters conference that will discuss the impact of these new regulatory guidelines and their effects on approval of follow on biologics. There will also be discussions on the rising development cost of biosimilars and marketing and pricing strategies, with a focus on case studies from those who are both developing and distributing follow on biologics. You cannot afford to miss this event.
