Generics and biosimilars Initiative(GaBI)news、2025年5月6日記事。
オーストラリアの薬事承認の法律はTherapeutic Goods Act(TGA、1989年制定)、規制機関は、Australian Government Department of Health and Ageingの一部門であるTherapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)。TGAによって認可された医薬品は、Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)に収載されたのち、公的にカバーされる。2008年8月、オーストラリアは、 similar biological medicinal productsに関するEUのガイドラインを採用し、2010年に最初のバイオシミラーであるepoetin lambdaが承認された。
現在までにTGAは、ヒト成長ホルモン、顆粒球コロニー刺激因子、インスリン、エリスロポエチン、卵胞刺激ホルモン(FSH)、モノクローナル抗体、TNF阻害剤の製品クラスにおいて、65のバイオシミラーを承認している(Table 1:Manufacturer/ Companyの赤字は日本で上市していない企業、Active substanceの青字は、日本で未承認)。
(坂巻コメント:日本では、先行品19品目に対してバイオシミラー36銘柄(一般名ベース)が承認(販売中止品も含む)。医療支出、受療数が日本より少ないオーストラリアで、これだけの数のバイオシミラーが承認されている。また、企業名を見ても、日本での承認を受けていない会社が数多くあり、日本が如何に「バイオシミラー・ロス」となっているかが明らかである。また、日本以外の先進国では、バイオシミラーはそれぞれブランド名を持っている。承認毎に異なる一般名としているのも日本独自といえる。)

 ##In Australia, decisions about indication extrapolation for biosimilars are made by the TGA. Rheumatoid arthritis is the only TGA-approved indication for Hadlima, as the sponsor has not sought to have Hadlima TGA-registered for the remaining Humira-approved indications at this time.
