Dear Colleague,With a patent cliff looming in the future, the market for biological therapeutics is looking to undergo radical changes. Both producers of branded drugs and upstarts looking to meet the demand for cost-effective healthcare will be looking to find the best strategies and solutions to compete in this dynamic environment. It is more critical than ever to make sure your company’s plan to tackle the issues of litigation, pricing and reimbursement, regulatory approval and risk management meet the benchmarks set by industry leaders.
Following the huge success of our events in Boston and London, we plan to continue with an agenda that will bring together big pharma, regulatory bodies, CROs, CMOs and law firms to discuss and develop strategies for a challenging market.
Visiongain’s 11th Annual Biosimilars event will provide a unique networking event to boost your understanding of how to:
• Review the latest regulatory guidelines and understand how it will affect you and your competitors
• Assess the financial viability of manufacturing biosimilars and explore alternative pathways for approval
• Learn how to incorporate a patent portfolio strategy to prepare for the changing landscape
• Explore strategies to overcome legal issues to gain marketing approval
• Analyse preclinical and clinical challenges in proving interchangeability and patient safety
• Gain insight into the role the US and European market will have in developing biosimilars
• Investigate pricing and re-imbursement plans especially for meeting government healthcare demands
• Plan a pharmacovigilance framework to monitor patient safety
• Utilise a great networking opportunity with key players in the market
I look forward to meeting you at the conference.
Best regards,
Shahidul IslamConference Producer
