"…brings nonclinical testing of biological and follow-on biological drugs, vaccines plus cell and gene therapy drugs right up to date. It is written in a very readable, yet highly scientific manner and most of the relevant publications…on the topic are referenced…Overall, a ‘must read’ book for all in the nonclinical field of developing biological drugs." --btsNews, June 2014

"Researchers in pharmaceuticals, toxicology, and other biological sciences summarize the current status of developing medicines from biological material, pointing out where the process is different from developing small-molecule medicines and where it is the same. The topics include regulatory guidelines and their application in the non-clinical evaluation of biological medicines, early de-risking strategy for novel biotherapeutics…" --Reference & Research Book News, December 2013

Nonclinical Development of Novel Biologics, Biosimilars, Vaccines and Specialty Biologics is a complete reference devoted to the nonclinical safety assessment of novel biopharmaceuticals, biosimilars, vaccines, cell and gene therapies and blood products. This book compares and contrasts these types of biologics with one another and with small molecule drugs, while incorporating the most current and essential international regulatory documents. Each section discusses a different type of biologic, as well as early characterization strategies, principles of study design, preclinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and preclinical assays. An edited book that is authored by leading experts in the field, this comprehensive reference provides critical insights to all researchers involved in early through late stage biologics.
