Comparability studies between the biosimilar product and its reference product also must be submitted, the Health Sciences Authority says in the guidance posted on its website on 1 August 2009.

The guidance document describes the basic principles of a similar biological product, as well as the procedures and requirements for registration of a similar biological product.
The document is intended to:
- introduce the concept of similar biological products
- outline the basic principles to be applied for similar biological products
- describe the procedure and documentary requirements for submitting an application for a similar biological product
- describe the pharmacovigilance requirements for similar biological products
- describe the post-approval batch release requirements for similar biological products
The guidance document is adapted mainly from the EMEA guidelines on similar biological products, with consideration of Singapore’s local regulatory environment.
