Prof Diana Lüftner speaks to ecancer at the 2019 Biosimilars Educational Advanced Masterclass for Pharmacists (P-BEAM) in Zurich about the assessment of monoclonal antibodies from a physician's perspective.

She outlines the features that these clinical trials must include for approval - including pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and response rates.

Prof Lüftner describes a particular clinical trial which aims to assess the switching process between agents.

She also explains how a physician should decide whether to use a biosimilar or the originator product.

Prof Lüftner also believes that biosimilars will become the standard of care for the future.
