Page: 56-7Abstract: ‘Non-binding recommendations’ from regulatory bodies are in place for evaluation and production of generic liposomal doxorubicin injection. However, how these nano-sized generics (‘nanosimilars’) should be characterized and evaluated, and particularly when the ‘reference listed product’ is no longer in production are among the major issues. We discuss these issues with respect to complexity of […]
