1. Biosimilars: China Update

No.Of Pages:51
Price:US $ 1900
Introduction
Currently, there is no definition, guidance or pathway for biosimilars in China, with
domestically manufactured versions of biologics, known as biogenerics. Due to limited R&D
capabilities, most domestic companies manufacture simple biologics, although there is a
growing shift towards the development of both novel and biogeneric monoclonal antibodies
and second-generation biologics.
Features and benefits
* An overview of biologic regulations in China
* Insight into the key drivers and resistors to biogeneric uptake in the China
* Assessment of the key marketed and pipelines in the Chinese biogenerics market.
* Provides a snapshot of key major biogeneric players and the strategies they have
implemented.
Highlights
Poor enforcement of patent protection provides significant opportunities for domestic
companies. Manufacturers also benefit from low development costs as well as government
support. As a result, biogenerics are priced much lower in China compared to originators.
It is mandatory for biologics (and biogenerics) approved as “new drugs” (i.e. those that
reference a product not currently marketed in China), to undergo full Phase I–III clinical
trials. However, only Phase III clinical trials are required for biogenerics which reference a
product that is marketed domestically.
A protracted and complicated drug registration process increases regulatory approval
timelines, impacting market access, with further delays for drugs not manufactured
domestically. Also, despite many biogenerics being reimbursed, low purchasing power still
limits uptake in China.
