he choice of delivery device or container closure system versus the Reference Listed Drug is a key consideration when developing a biosimilar. Can a biosimilar be developed using a different container closure system than the reference Listed Drug and if yes, how different can this container
closure system be? If the reference is in a vial or a prefilled syringe, can the biosimilar be in an autoinjector? What are additional requirements that need to be considered in order to be able to claim interchangeability.

Learning objectives:
1. we focus on requirements applicable to biosimilars when targeting the US or the EU markets.
2. we discuss acceptable differences in device-component between a biosimilar and the
reference product.

Asthma affects up to 1 in 10 people globally. Living well with asthma depends on avoiding triggers and using good, safe medicines in the right way at the right time. However, there is currently much sub-optimal use of medicine that can result in waste and harm including avoidable hospital attendances and admissions. Hospital pharmacists can be an important part of the asthma pathway and powerful change agents. This webinar will provide updates on major changes in international guidelines that highlight asthma is an inflammatory condition and for safety no-one over 12 should be treated with a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) alone without inhaled corticosteroids. You will hear from experts from the Asthma Right Care social movement about how to make impactful change happen in the provision of asthma care within secondary care settings.

By the end of this webinar participants will have:
1. Received a critical update on international asthma guidelines and the implications for hospital pharmacists
