Abstract
In response to the requests for assistance in defining regulatory requirements for SBPs, the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (ECBS) adopted the new WHO Guidelines for evaluation of SBPs in October 2009. This article provides a brief account of the WHO initiative to assist its member states to establish national requirements for the regulatory oversight of SBPs. The aim of the article is to inform its readers of the current status of WHO Guidelines on the evaluation of similar biotherapeutic products and of the plan to strengthen national regulatory requirements to assure quality, safety and efficacy of similar biotherapeutic products at the global level.
