"Not So Different:" A Regulatory Attorney Shares His Take on Interchangeability
This week on the podcast, we're speaking with regulatory attorney James Shehan, JD, chair of regulatory practice at Lowenstein Sandler, LLP. In a prior role, Shehan had a hand in crafting the language that became the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act, which set forth the legal standard for interchangeability. Shehan discusses what the newly released guidance means for developers, what he thinks about the upcoming transition of insulins to regulation as biologics, and his view on the potential for interchangeable insulin biosimilars.
Recently, the FDA released its long-anticipated final guidance on demonstrating interchangeability, and developers have been grappling with how the guidance will impact them.
