Quality Assurance/Quality Control for Biologics and Biopharmaceuticals
In the eyes of regulatory authorities, the quality issues of biologics are definitely different from chemical drugs because of: (1) use of living source materials to produce the biologic, (2) increased complexity of biologic manufacturing processes and (3) increased complexity of the biologic molecules themselves. While chemical drugs can become generics, biologics products are best viewed as biosimilars, and not as bio-generics.
Biologics are highly susceptible to adventitious agent contamin... |
