Biologics Regulation

Meaning

The comprehensive set of governmental and international rules, guidelines, and legal frameworks governing the development, testing, manufacturing, and marketing of biological products. This regulatory oversight ensures the purity, potency, safety, and efficacy of complex substances derived from living systems, such as therapeutic proteins, gene therapies, and cellular products. Due to the inherent variability and complexity of their source material and production processes, biologics require a distinct and rigorous regulatory pathway compared to conventional small-molecule pharmaceuticals. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for market authorization and clinical use.
