– It should be recognised that, by definition, similar biological medicinal products are not
generic medicinal products, since it could be expected that there may be subtle differences
between similar biological medicinal products from different manufacturers
...the generic approach is not suitable for the licensing of SBPs since 197biotherapeutic products
usually consist of relatively large and complex entities that are difficult 198to characterize... even
minor differences in the manufacturing process may affect the pharmacokinetics,
pharmacodynamics, efficacy and/or safety of biotherapeutic products
Los medicamentos biotecnológicos innovadores podrán ser referencia para los medicamentos
biotecnológicos no innovadores, a los cuales se les denominará biocomparables. La forma de
identificación de estos productos será determinada en las disposiciones reglamentarias.

Bioequivalence of the generic with the innovator can be concluded from plasma
concentration against time curves, as the active molecule in both products is identical.

Same brand (innovator) batch-to-batch changes in glycosylation: Not identical molecules,
as determined by capillary electrophoresis. But similar biological activity.

Conclusion: Some, but not all, changes in glycosylation are acceptable.
Biosimilarity (similar biological activity) must be demonstrated.

Although very similar in terms of sequences and modifications, a mass difference observed by
LC-MS intact mass measurements indicated that they were not identical.
Comprehensive glycosylation profiling confirmed that the proportion of individual glycans was
different between the biosimilar and the innovator, although the number and identity of glycans
were the same.

WARNING!!!
1. Despite recognizing a same ligand (antigen), potency
and immunogenicity can differ between innovator and
biosimilar mABs/Cepts.
2. Innovator’s data cannot be directly extrapolated to a
non-innovator produced by a different process.
3. Identical bioavailability, efficacy and safety cannot be
guaranteed.
4. Hence, a biosimilar must generate its own efficacy
and safety data in well designed, statistically sound
comparative clinical studies.
5. Equivalence, or at least non-inferiority must be
demonstrated.

Types of Biotechnological Medicines:
Definitions1-3
• Innovator: Generated by original research. Protected by
a patent.

Safety Issues with Rituximab Intended Copy
Comunicado 04/04/2012 http://www.cofepris.gob.mx/AZ/Paginas/Farmacovigilancia/Comunicados.aspx
Anaphylactic Reactions with Rituximab
There are two rituximab products in Mexico.
Analysis of the cases showed that
adverse reactions occurred after the switch
of one product for the other.
![Page 29: 1 Dr Gilberto Castañeda Hernández - CINVESTAV](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020105/5550108fb4c90555618b49ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conclusions (1)
1. For conventional drug products (small
molecules), bioequivalence between generic
and innovator products can be established
from plasma concentration versus time curves.
The same molecule is being determined.
2. Biosimilars, however, are not generics. Not
identical with regard to the innovator.
3. Thorough molecular characterization, as well
as comparative preclinical and clinical studies
documenting efficacy and safety are required.

Conclusions (2)
4. Biosimilars must produce their own clinical
data. Extrapolation from innovator’s results is
not possible. THEY CANNOT BE IDENTICAL.
5. Biosimilars, but not intended copies, are
welcome, as they reduce costs and increase
access.
