Importance & Scope:

The European-based pharmaceutical industry makes a major contribution to the Europe, not just in financial terms but also in terms of high-trait employment. Globally Pharma Market ranges from $870-$900 billion and in Europe $260-$280 billion.

A global biosimilars strategy:

Developed markets: Developed markets, with the exception of the United States, represent the greatest biosimilars presence today. Most biosimilars manufacturers have been and remain focused on the developed markets – whether it is for their historic and current opportunities (EU) or for their future market potential (United States, Japan). Dedicated regulatory pathways set the foundation for stringent, abbreviated approval processes which, in turn, have fed investor enthusiasm. Biosimilars adoption in developed markets has been primarily payer-driven, especially in European markets, given payers’ urgent, unmet need to contain public health care expenditures. Further market uptake has been slowed by prescribers’ skepticism and low patient awareness. Still, developed markets continue to have the highest number of biosimilars molecules in development – estimated at 29 in Europe, 19 in the United States and seven in Japan.

Emerging markets: In today’s emerging markets, biosimilars are still nascent, with little to no presence. However, in contrasting emerging markets with developed markets, the limited patient access to affordable biologics and the openness of physicians to low-cost therapies may offer potentially significant opportunities. Today, emerging markets represent a snippet of total world biologic sales in value, less than seven to eight percent (versus 48.6 percent in the United States).ix Treatment rates for flagship biologics are still low compared to developed markets, despite existing demand. For example, the treatment rate of MabThera® in Brazil is three times lower than in the UK and six times lower than in the US.x Additionally, a recent Kantor Health Survey found that 20 percent of emerging market autoimmune patients use a biologic, with the distribution of biologics varying from 29 percent in China to 12 percent in Russia and a mere 6 percent in Brazil.xi This may indicate the presence of large pockets of non-consumption, especially within the growing middle class.

  • Represents about 50% of the global biologics market value and generates about 50% of the sales value growth
  • Pending legislative decisions on data exclusivity period, naming conventions and interchangeability likely to have important implications.

Biosimilars approved in the US

In the US, a legal framework for approving biosimilars was established in 2009, via the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCI Act).

The BPCI Act is part of the healthcare reform legislation, which was signed into law on 23 March 2010 by President Barack Obama. The BPCI Act establishes an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products that are demonstrated to be ‘highly similar’ (biosimilar) to, or ‘interchangeable’ with, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed biological product.

FDA is still in the process of developing guidelines regarding these types of products and has issued several guidance documents on the subject.

Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz) was the first product approved in the US as a biosimilar in 2015. To date, FDA has approved four biosimilars within the product classes of anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and a follow-on biological in the product class of insulin for use in the US.

EU5

  • Most mature biosimilar market representing 80% of global biosimilar spending
  • Performance to date viewed as “disappointing” by select manufacturers
  • Nineteen biosimilar products authorized in four molecule classes: human growth hormone, erythropoietin, G-CSF and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-inhibitor
  • About 29 pipeline biosimilars molecules in development.
  • World-class dedicated pathway leaving questions of substitutability at the pharmacy level to member states
  • Payer-driven uptake
  • Challenged by continued pressure from strict regulatory decisions, lingering fear from prescribers around biosimilars’ “similarity”, safety and efficacy, debates on automatic substitution and INN prescription.

Biosimilars approved in Europe

In the European Union (EU), a legal framework for approving biosimilars was established in 2003. This framework means that biosimilars can only be approved centrally via the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and not nationally.

EMA first developed guidelines for the approval of biosimilars via an abbreviated registration process during 2005 to 2006, and since then EMA has developed many general and specific guidelines for biosimilars .

Omnitrope (somatropin) was the first product approved in the EU as a biosimilar in 2006. To date, EMA has approved 38 biosimilars within the product classes of human growth hormone, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, erythropoesis stimulating agent, insulin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), parathyroid hormone and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-inhibitor, for use in the EU. Three biosimilar approvals have been withdrawn; two for filgrastim biosimilars: Filgrastim ratiopharm in April 2011 and Biograstim in December 2016, and one for a somatropin biosimilar (Valtropin) in May 2012. This leaves a total of 35 biosimilars approved for use in Europe.

With 10 years now added to its repertoire, European Biosimilars Congress is really turning into a staple meeting where Biosimilars partners accumulate to address the present and future condition of Biosimilars in the Europe.

The addition of two dedicated streams at the European Biosimilars Congress meeting proved to be highly successful, providing valuable insights from two distinct groups. One group excelled in the scientific and technical aspects, offering in-depth knowledge and expertise in research and manufacturing. The other group excelled in the business and strategic aspects, providing valuable insights into market trends, commercialization strategies, and regulatory considerations. This dual-stream approach allowed participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of both the scientific and commercial aspects of the biosimilars industry. The positive response and knowledge exchange from these two specialized streams contributed to the overall success of the European Biosimilars Congress meeting.

The 2024 establishment of this meeting will enable us to keep on diving further into both the investigation of Biosimilars improvement – and the business requirements for organizations that keep on seeking FDA endorsement.
