Bill Summary

A BILL To provide for a period of exclusivity for first interchangeable biological products.

AI Summary

This bill, the Interchangeable Biologics Clarity Act, aims to provide a period of exclusivity for the first interchangeable biological product approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Specifically, the bill amends the Public Health Service Act to clarify that the FDA shall not approve a second or subsequent interchangeable biological product that relies on the same reference product as the first approved interchangeable biological product. This ensures that the first interchangeable biosimilar biological product, which is defined as the first such product approved, has a period of exclusivity before additional interchangeable versions can be approved.
