New regulatory guidance could lead to UK biosimilar boom
New guidance on the licensing of biosimilar products that reduces unnecessary clinical trials is expected to put the UK ahead of Europe and facilitate a boom in these essential life-saving medicines, creating greater patient access and saving the National Health Service (NHS) hundreds of millions of pounds. It could also…
O-glycan analysis of therapeutic proteins enabled by O-glycoprotease
Glycosylation of therapeutic proteins is important to biologic drug development and is a critical quality attribute that is monitored during manufacturing. Analysis of O-glycans is technically challenging compared to that of N-glycans. In this review, Xiaofeng Shi, Saulius Vainauskas and Christopher H Taron summarise current O-glycan analytical approaches, describe the…
Article: Survey of the status of rFC and LAL equivalence determination
While each pharmaceutical validation provides the necessary foundation for the testing of specific products via recombinant Factor C (rFC) without external reference, there are also several published studies that support the equivalence of recombinant technology.
ICH M13: Bioequivalence guidelines
Dave Elder outlines how bioequivalence data supports numerous processes at various stages of drug development as well as when establishing generic drug substitution, and reflects on its differing interpretations across the globe.
Enabling compliant data management with a comprehensive informatics solution

Trends in the vaccine contract manufacturing market
While we all know that COVID-19 has promoted growth in the vaccine contract manufacturing market, what other factors are impacting the field? In this article, EPR summarises the trends and opportunities identified by a new market research report.
Making use of those ‘in the know’
In this article, Aman Khera, the Global Head of Regulatory Strategy for Worldwide Clinical Trials, makes a case for regulatory involvement in drug development from start to finish and explains how the role of the regulator is changing, as well as what this means for pharma.
VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Emerging tools for the analysis of biologics and biosimilars
In this virtual roundtable, Scott Bradley (Principal Research Scientist, Eli Lilly and Company), Joan Malmstrøm (Principal Scientist, Novo Nordisk) and Kelly Sackett (Principal Scientist, Pfizer) exemplified how high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a key technology that provides critical information about protein structure and dynamics. Here, the participants offer some…
Guide to Data Integrity
Welcome to European Pharmaceutical Review’s Guide to Data Integrity. In this edition, Ian Harrow and Thomas Liener, Consultant Project Managers at The Pistoia Alliance, explain the importance of the FAIR data principles; and Charles River Laboratories and Thermo Fisher Scientific showcase their unique data integrity services and discuss how they…
