BayBio Life Science Series Venture Spotlight | Follow-On Biologics, Biosimilars, Biobetters

A number of biological products are coming up for patent expirations offering a unique opportunity to enter a new, attractive market.  Follow-on biologics as subsequent versions of innovator biological products present unique challenges while introducing an interesting opportunity and a new dynamic in the generic and biopharmaceutical industry.  Significant upfront investment, complex manufacturing processes, re-design of a pharmacovigilance plan, uncertain regulatory approval process, no automatic substitution in the pharmacy creating a need for marketing and promoting an informed and appropriate use by healthcare professionals are key challenges and complexities that need to be carefully considered and planned for.  A panel of seasoned investors – VCs, angels, and corporate investors – will talk about key factors ensuring success while entering the follow-on biologics market that will lead to higher profit margins and higher rewards when compare to the generics market.
