Overcoming challenges in biosimilar analytical characterization

Drug Patent Watch

Additionally, the immunogenicity of biosimilars, which is the ability of the drug to trigger an immune response, can be highly variable and impact the safety and efficacy of the drug. Robust Clinical Trial Design : Clinical trials for biosimilars should be designed to demonstrate equivalence or non-inferiority to the reference product.

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

Sanofi and GSK COVID-19 vaccine candidate demonstrates strong immune responses across all adult age groups in Phase 2 trial

The Pharma Data

Adjuvanted recombinant COVID-19 vaccine candidate triggered strong neutralizing antibody responses in all adult age groups. High immune response after a single dose in patients with prior infection shows strong booster potential. Beginning in February 2021, the study enrolled 722 volunteers, in the U.S. Issued: London UK.

The Vaccine Development Landscape and Its Associated Challenges

DrugBank

Adjuvants are substances added to vaccines to enhance the immune response. They work by decreasing the solubility of the vaccine, which sustains the release of the drug and prolongs the immune response. Even after a vaccine is approved and distributed, the pharmaceutical industry's responsibility does not end.
