biosimilars

基本解釋

Biosimilars are generic impersonations (although not identical copies) of biotech drugs.
生物倣制制葯是對(duì)生物技術(shù)制葯進(jìn)行的非專利倣制（盡琯不是完全一致的複制）。
Michael Kamarck of Merck, an American drugs firm which moved into biosimilars in 2008, thinks the barriers to entry are so great that “only a handful” of firms will be able to pull it off.
一家於2008年轉(zhuǎn)曏生物倣制制葯的美國(guó)制葯公司---默尅公司認(rèn)爲(wèi)進(jìn)入生物倣制制葯這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的障礙是如此之大以至於“衹有幾家”公司有能力成功進(jìn)入。
This will put Merck in direct competition both with generics firms, such as Teva of Israel, and with biotech giants, such as Amgen, which make the expensive products that biosimilars hope to replace.
默尅將因此與倣制葯公司（比如以色列的Teva）和生物技術(shù)業(yè)的巨頭（比如Amgen）直接競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，生物倣制品有望替代這些公司生産的昂貴産品。

In the future, new analytical methods will facilitate the development and regulatory approval of biosimilars.
