Biosimilar Insulin
Biosimilar insulin is a biological copy of an original insulin and there is increasing interest in developing and using them. Biosimilar insulins (hereafter called biosimilars or follow-on biologics) are designed to be highly similar to the original, or reference, insulin product described in a patent. They are analogous to generic versions of small-molecule drugs and are developed by companies other than the reference product's patent holder. Producers of biosimilars use manufacturing techniques that are similar, but likely not identical to, those used by the original patent holder. Thus, although a biosimilar and its reference insulin product will have the same amino acid sequence, they may differ slightly in their more subtle molecular characteristics and clinical profiles.
