#528: Suffix or Superfluous? Evaluating FDA’s Biologics Naming Convention
Tuesday June 16, 2026 1:45pm - 3:00pm EDT
Component Type: Session
Level: Advanced
CE: ACPE 1.25 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-26-569-L04-P; CME 1.25; RN 1.25

This session explores pharmacovigilance for biosimilars, focusing on how FDA’s suffix-based naming and surveillance are implemented in practice. Panelists from FDA, academia, and industry will discuss suffix-related challenges and future directions.

Learning Objectives

Describe the FDA’s nonproprietary naming convention for biological products and its intended role in pharmacovigilance; Analyze empirical evidence from FAERS to evaluate how suffix reporting impacts pharmacovigilance activities; Assess the role of naming conventions in broader active surveillance systems, such as the Sentinel System, and their implications for biosimilar safety monitoring.
