The drafts of the three were released in early 2012 as required by the 2010 Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA). The first is a Q&A document covering: ● biosimilarity and interchangeability ● provisions related to requirement to submit a BLA for a “biological product,” and ● exclusivity. The second guidance covers quality considerations in demonstrating biosimilarity to a reference protein product, while the third addresses the scientific considerations.
