5. HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Thursday 3rd October 2013
1.30pm - 5.00pm
Marriott Regents Park Hotel London, UK
Biosimilars, the
commercial reality
Workshop Leader:
Peter Whittner, Founder, Findacure
Overview of workshop:
The higher regulatory barriers in Europe and
issues of interchangeability have resulted in a
limited number of product launches so far and
slow progress for those that are already in the
market. Across the Atlantic, the situation is
changing with the long awaited legislation now
in place to simplify biosimilars registration. By
contrast, in less regulated markets lower
regulatory barriers have allowed a biosimilars
market to take off, but there are questions about
whether these “biocopies” are indeed truly
biosimilar.
The workshop will examine all these issues and
take a look into what the future may bring.
• A good overview of the Biosimilars picture
across the world
• Insight into the varying regulatory approaches
prevailing in different regions
• An understanding of the commercial situation
as it is now and likely to develop in the future
• Enough background to determine whether
entering the biosimilars market is an
appropriate strategy for their company
Programme
1.30 Welcome & Introductions
1.40 Overview - Biosimilars? Biogenerics?
Follow-on Biologicals?
2.10 Biosimilars - the commercial reality
3.10 Afternoon Tea

5.00 Close of Workshop
