Biosimilars
A biosimilar biotherapeutic product is similar (but not identical) in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy to an already licensed reference product. They are safe and effective.
Biosimilars have no clinically meaningful difference from the reference product.
They are approved according to the same standards of pharmaceutical quality, safety and efficacy that apply to all biotherapeutic products. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are responsible for evaluating the applications for the biosimilar market.
ARTES offers a range of biosimilar-producing cell lines and processes for out-licensing and technology transfer. The cell lines listed are based on yeast, E. coli or mammalian expression systems.
