Biosimilar development
What is a biosimilar
A medicine which similar to biological biopharmaceutical
medicine that has already been autorized
The active substance of a biosimilar is similar to the one of
biological /biopharmaceutical reference medicine (sugars,
proteins, or nucleic acids or complex)
Used in the same dose to treat the same disease
Biosimilar in Indonesia : Kalbio, Dexa, Biofarma
Ex: EPO (Erythropoietin untuk anemia pada pasien gagal
ginjal)

Preparation of Biopharmaceutical
The DNA sequence and the host cell will
significantly
Develop host cell
No two master cell bank are exactly
identical
Establish cell bank
Protein production
The condition of culturing can affect the nature of the
end product
Any change in the purification process can affect the clinical product
charateristics
Purification
Storage and handling
Formulation
Analysis
Poor adherence to cold storage requirements and shaking can affect clinical
efficacy and safety
Component and process of the formulation. Can significanly affect the product
behavior in patients
Analysis has limited ability to detect all product charateristic that may affect clinical
efficacy and safety
