The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is announcing the availability of a revised draft guidance for industry entitled "New and Revised Draft Q&As on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act (Revision 4)." The question and answer (Q&A) format is intended to inform prospective applicants and facilitate the development of proposed biosimilar products and proposed interchangeable biosimilar products, as well as describe FDA's proposed interpretation of certain statutory requirements related to the abbreviated licensure pathway for biological products added by the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCI Act). This draft guidance revises and replaces the draft guidance for industry entitled "New and Revised Draft Q&As on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act (Revision 3)" issued September 17, 2021 to provide certain revisions to Q&As I.8, I.10, and I.19, which have been withdrawn from the final guidance entitled "Questions and Answers on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act" issued September 20, 2021.
