Biologics and Biosimilars Regulatory Writing, Statistics and Publications

Pubrica supports developers of biologics, biosimilars and advanced therapies with regulatory writing, statistical analysis and scientific publications. We prepare analytical similarity summaries, immunogenicity reports, clinical study protocols and reports, CTD Module 2.5 and 2.7 documents, risk management plans and publications. Biosimilar documents are structured to show comparability with the reference product, in line with ICH Q5E and EMA and FDA biosimilar guidance.

What we writebiologics and biosimilars

Each document states the guidance and version it was prepared to.

Included in every programme
  • Structured comparability reporting
  • One designated project lead
  • Your SOPs and templates
  • Mutual NDA on request
  • You remain the named sponsor

Service Scope

Regulatory writing for biologics and biosimilar applications

A biosimilar application is assessed on the totality of evidence. We present the analytical, nonclinical and clinical data together so assessors can follow the comparability case with the reference product.

Approach

Totality of evidence

Analytical, nonclinical and clinical data presented as one consistent comparability case.

Standards

ICH and the biosimilar guidelines

ICH Q5E and EMA and FDA biosimilar guidance, applied at the current edition.

Coordination

One project lead

One lead coordinates the comparability summary, study reports and publications.

Our Services

Biologics and biosimilar documents we prepare

Available as individual documents or as a full programme. If a document relies on material prepared elsewhere, the initial assessment reviews that material first.

Documents and applicable standards

Analytical similarity summaryComparability summary prepared from your analytical data package
Immunogenicity reportingAnti-drug antibody data reported with its clinical relevance explained
Clinical study protocolPrepared to ICH E6, with the statistical analysis plan developed alongside
Clinical study reportStructured to ICH E3, including narratives and appendices

Our compliance and guideline standards

Guidelines and standards we work to

Each standard is applied at its current edition, with the date it was checked. Where a standard has changed recently, the deliverable records which version was used.

Applicable standards

ICH Q5EComparability of biotechnological products after a manufacturing change
EMA biosimilar guidelinesThe overarching guideline and the product-class annexes
FDA biosimilar guidanceIncluding interchangeability, where relevant
ICH E3, E6 and E9Study reports, good clinical practice and statistical principles
ICH M4The common technical document and its modules
CONSORT 2025Comparative trial reporting, with the extension the design requires
ICMJE and GPP 2022Authorship and good publication practice
ISO 9001:2015The quality system the process itself runs under

How it works

Our five-step process, starting with a free assessment

We review your materials before providing a quote.

One

Initial assessment

Two business days, at no cost. We set out what the work requires, who will lead it and the cost.

Two

Named team

We confirm who is assigned and their relevant experience before work starts.

Three

Outline approval

You approve the content and sources for each section before drafting begins.

Four

Draft and review

Independent review, quality control and reference verification, each signed off separately.

Five

Handover

The final deliverable with its working files under version control, revised within the agreed scope.

Throughout

One project lead

One project lead coordinates the work so all documents remain consistent.

Project Inputs

Send us your existing materials and we will identify any gaps.

Many projects start with incomplete material, so the initial assessment includes a review of what is available.

You send

Existing materials

Existing documents, your templates and the required completion date.

We send back

Written assessment

What is available, what is missing and the condition of existing material.

Then

Packages

A quote for the programme, with the named team and timeline, before you commit.

Our experts

Our biologics writing and statistics team

Writers are assigned by subject and industry, not by availability. They hold a master’s degree or doctorate in life sciences, medicine, pharmacy or a related discipline, with at least five years of experience in the field. Keeping up to date with the relevant guidance is part of their regular work.

Specialists involved

Subject matter expertsMatched to your scientific or clinical field
Information specialistsDocumented, reproducible literature searches
StatisticiansStudy design, statistical analysis and outputs
Sector specialistsFamiliar with the regulations that apply to your industry
Independent reviewersA second qualified reviewer who did not write the draft
Quality controlReference verification and consistency across a document set

Packages

Pricing based on programme scope

Page count does not reflect the work involved, so we do not price by length. The free initial assessment defines the work and gives you a quote you can budget for.

First

Initial assessment

Free, within two business days. A written assessment of the work required.

Then

A written scope

Deliverables, standards, named team and timeline, agreed before work starts.

Quoted

Per programme

One price for the agreed scope, with revisions included rather than charged per round.

Quality Assurance

Revisions within the agreed scope

If a deliverable does not meet the scope you approved, we revise it at no additional charge and repeat the independent review.

What is covered

Unlimited revisionsWithin the scope agreed, with no per-round charge
Independent re-reviewA second qualified reviewer checks the revised work, not the original author
Correct standards appliedIf the wrong guidance edition was applied, we correct it at no extra charge
Clear scopingIf the original scope was wrong, we tell you rather than issuing a change request

FAQs

Common questions about biologics and biosimilar work

The assessor asks a different question. A new active substance demonstrates efficacy and safety directly. A biosimilar shows that, after analytical and functional comparison, remaining uncertainty is small and the clinical data only needs to confirm similarity. The Module 2.5 clinical overview should follow that structure, not the format used for a new active substance.

We write it up; the analytical work stays with your team. We turn the comparability data your CMC team generates into the similarity summary used in the clinical overview, and we point out any gaps an assessor is likely to notice.

Yes, for the documentation. Interchangeability under FDA guidance usually requires switching study data. We report that data so it addresses the switching question directly, rather than leaving it to be inferred from safety tables.

Yes, this is our standard arrangement for sponsors. We work within your quality system, supported by our ISO 9001:2015 certified process.

Each deliverable goes through independent review by a second qualified person, quality control and reference verification, each signed off separately. The review reports are supplied with the deliverable.

We do not operate your pharmacovigilance system. We write the risk management plan and periodic reports, but case processing and reporting to authorities remain within your PV system under your qualified person. We do not run analytical or clinical work, and we do not audit or certify GMP or GCP compliance. We do not claim authorship of your science.
