Expert Bioanalytical Solutions for Robust Biosimilar Development
A biosimilar (biologics) is a biological medicinal product which is highly like and has no clinically meaningful differences from an existing approved reference (Innovator) product.
The development and validation of robust bioanalytical assays to accompany nonclinical and clinical studies is the most critical requirement of any biosimilar drug development program. However, the detailed description of how these assays should be developed, validated, and implemented with respect to the intricacies of demonstrating bio similarity is not clear.
Aragen has extensive experience in method development, method transfer, and method validation of tailored bioassays according to GMP standards, and conducting routine potency assays using cell migration, ligand binding, ELISA, cell signaling, cell proliferation and inhibition of proliferation, binding assays, or competitive assays approaches.
Aragen’s team is proficient in understanding and handling your requirement on a case-by-case basis and has capability to support your biosimilar endeavor.
