Dr. Ayaaz Hussain Khan, Managing Director, Global Head-Generics, Navitas Life Sciences, provides key trends that will drive global growth in the biosimilar and biologics market in the article titled “BIOLOGICS AND BIOSIMILARS MARKET: Key trends in 2021” published in Issue 44 of Pharma Focus Asia.

“The Global Biosimilars Market is estimated to reach US$240 billion by 2030, with the Indian market at US$35 billion. The considerable increase in reference products, with the USFDA adding 90 molecules and India approving 70 biosimilars, promises to usher in further growth.

The Biopharma industry seems keen on investing in the biosimilar market with a focus on improving healthcare and health care costs for diseases of interest like COVID-19, cancer, immunologic diseases, and diabetes.

This is evident in the projected growth of the oncology biosimilar market at 17 per cent CAGR, and the growing demand and importance of monoclonal antibodies such as tocilizumab, sarilumab, and itolizumab for testing on COVID-19 patients.”

3. Insights for First-time-Right Submissions

Mr. Balaji A, Manager of Regulatory Operations, Navitas Life Sciences, explores the quest for First-Time-Right Submissions to the Health Authorities (HA) by pharmaceutical companies, in his article titled “Electronic Automation and Process Optimization for First-Time-Right Submissions” published in Express Pharma magazine, Volume 16, July, 2021.

“We know that the publishing process is complex, with pharmaceutical companies using various publishing tools to both compile and publish documents in eCTD, NeeS, and paper formats as specified by the HAs.

In our experience, some 70%+ of small to medium companies are still following a manual process to process and add documents to the Document Management System (DMS) and, subsequently to the Publishing tool. This is not only time consuming, but it also expends additional efforts both pre and post publishing.”
