In January 2017, the FDA issued a Final Guidance on the naming of biologics, including originator biologic medicines and biosimilars. The FDA is developing plans to roll out this new naming convention both prospectively and retrospectively. Likewise, numerous stakeholders throughout the US health care system have already or will adapt their current processes to accommodate the Final Guidance. This session will explore considerations for implementing the new system and provide an overview of some of these plans.
