Resumo

No Brasil, o registro de novos medicamentos é feito apenas quando a agência reguladora - Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) - se satisfaz plenamente com as evidências de sua qualidade, eficácia e segurança, apresentadas por uma indústria farmacêutica que pleiteie esse registro. Com o vencimento de patentes, empresas farmacêuticas se sentem atraídas pela produção medicamentos biológicos chamados de biosimilares ou biogenéricos ou simplesmente genéricos, cuja aprovação pode resultar em redução de custos de tratamento. Mas é preciso que o biosimilar seja, pelo menos, igualmente eficaz e seguro e sem contaminantes em relação ao original. Consensos recentes apontam diretrizes para estabelecer critérios de eficácia e segurança desses medicamentos. Estudos pré-clínicos in vitro e in vivo, procedência da matéria-prima e estudos clínicos fase I, II e III são preconizados para registro do produto biosimilar no mercado internacional. As heparinas de baixo peso molecular encontram-se nessa situação. Nesta revisão, abordamos especificamente esse tipo de medicamento, o que pode servir de parâmetro para outros biosimilares.

Abstract

In Brazil, the registration of new drugs is carried out only when the regulatory agency (Anvisa, acronym in Portuguese) is fully satisfied with the evidence of their quality, efficacy and safety, presented by a pharmaceutical industry that strive for this registration. With the patent expiration, pharmaceutical companies are attracted to produce biological medicines called biosimilar or biogenerics or simply generics, whose approval may result in reduced treatment costs. But it is necessary that the biosimilar be, at least, equally effective and safe and without contaminants in relation to the original. Recent consensus guidelines aim to establish criteria for efficacy and safety of these medicines. Preclinical studies in vitro and in vivo, the origin of raw materials and clinical studies phase I, II and III are recommended for biosimilar medicine registration in the international market. Low molecular weight heparins are found in this situation. In this review we specifically addressed this type of medicine, which could serve as a benchmark for other biosimilar medicines.
