Definition
A biosimilar is a biological medicine that is developed to be highly similar and clinically equivalent to an existing reference medicinal product (RMP). Similarity to the reference medicine must be established based on comprehensive biosimilar testing within comparability studies, demonstrating that there are no clinically meaningful differences in terms of quality, biological activity, safety, efficacy and immunogenicity.
