Syneos Health Biosimilars Symposium 2021
Jump to the Agenda for Each Day: Day One | Day Two | Day Three
When biosimilars first became available, their all-consuming struggle was establishing legitimacy as replacements for originator (“reference”) biologics. But now that biosimilars have achieved broad acceptance and market penetration, the rules of competition are in flux.
Now, with increasing competition and regulatory evolution occurring across the globe, the biosimilar market is ripe for innovation – and developing the optimal clinical development and commercial strategy is key to maximizing the value of your biosimilar asset.
This three-day symposium will provide an overview of the current challenges and opportunities in biosimilar development and commercialization, and discuss expectations and requirements from key stakeholders such as manufacturers, physicians, patients and payers.
In this symposium, attendees will:
- Understand the US and European landscape and how APAC developers can bring their biosimilar products to Western markets
- Learn how physician and patient expectations impact the clinical evidence needs critical to trial planning
- Explore the evolution of market demands that influence how we will commercialize biosimilars now and in the future
