JournalUnique aspects of biologic reference standards
Reference standards are pivotal in ensuring pharmaceutical quality, especially for complex biologics. This article reviews definitions and classifications of reference standards as outlined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Q6B and Q7 guidelines. It addresses types of standards based on source and use, with particular emphasis on the distinct requirements for biologics.

JournalConsiderations for generics developers moving into the field of biosimilars
Many generic developers have experience in both manufacturing and gaining US and EU approval for generics which are small molecule alternatives to the authorised original products. These developers possess the relevant skillsets to allow them to pursue the development of biosimilars, which are large molecule biologics highly similar to the authorised original products.
