Biologics are of great importance in treating patients suffering from rheumatic, autoimmune, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. The expiry/lapse of reference biologics or originators' patents has meant that developing biosimilars involves accompanying legal requirements for their approval in countries worldwide. This paper has thus approached the situation of biosimilar regulation worldwide, the pertinent technical concepts and regulatory differences in some countries of interest.}, publisher = {Current Clinical Pharmacology}, keywords = {Biosimilar}, keywords = {Biologic}, keywords = {Coagulation factors}, keywords = {Cytokines}, keywords = {Monoclonal antibody}, title = {Biosimilars: An Approach to some Current Worldwide Regulation Frameworks}, doi = {10.2174/1574884713666181025142928}, author = {Esteban, Efraín and Bustos, Rosa Helena and César García, Julio and Jáuregui, Edwin}, }
