Pembrolizumab Biosimilars Are Entering Clinical Review: What the PK-Only Pathway Means for Immunogenicity Assay Scientists

The FDA accepted the first publicly announced pembrolizumab biosimilar BLA for review in October 2026, using a pharmacokinetic-only pivotal strategy that skips a comparative Phase 3 efficacy trial. For immunogenicity assay scientists, this regulatory pivot reframes how ADA comparability must be designed, validated, and interpreted in a drug class with low but clinically consequential reference product immunogenicity.

When PK and ADA Assays Become the Whole Argument: Biosimilar Regulatory Reform and What It Demands from Bioanalytical Scientists

Regulatory agencies in the US, EU, and Canada moved in 2025 and 2026 to reduce or eliminate comparative efficacy studies for biosimilar approval, placing pharmacokinetic and anti-drug antibody assays at the center of the evidentiary dossier. This article examines the three converging guidance documents, the validation demands they create, and the platform-level design principles scientists need to build biosimilar bioanalytical programs that can carry that evidentiary weight.

Vaccine Immunogenicity LBAs Have No Dedicated Validation Guidance: A Three-Part WRIB Series Sets Out to Change That

Ligand binding assays are the primary quantitative tool for vaccine immunogenicity studies, yet no dedicated regulatory framework has governed their development, validation, or lifecycle management. A three-part WRIB white paper series, now fully published in Bioanalysis, provides the first consensus-based guidance covering all three domains specifically for vaccine immunogenicity LBAs.
