The Alliance for Safe Biologic Medicines and Pennsylvania Bio hosted an event entitled, “Biosimilars Policy Forum: Ensuring Patient Safety” in Philadelphia, PA, on August 17, 2011
The purpose of the forum discussion was to explore with community members, including policymakers, patients, physicians, pharmacists, and hospital officials the importance of maintaining patient safety as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s top priority while it works to establish an approval pathway for biosimilar products.
