AGENCY: ACTION: The Federal Trade Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) announces it will hold a workshop to explore competition issues involving biologic medicines and follow-on biologics. The workshop will focus on the potential impact of state regulations and naming conventions on such competition, including how regulations may be structured to facilitate competition while still protecting patient health and safety. The experience of developing follow-on competition from small-molecule generic drugs will be considered and, as relevant, compared. Topics will include the circumstances under which potential entrants would be willing to invest in the development of follow-on biologics in order to use the abbreviated regulatory approval pathway created by federal legislation. The workshop will also survey the experience of other countries with regulatory systems that enable follow-on biologic competition. This Notice poses a series of questions about which the FTC seeks public comment. The FTC will take these comments into account in its examination of these topics. DATES: The workshop will be held on December 10, 2013, in the FTC headquarters at 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC. The FTC workshop is free and open to the public and will also be webcast. Prior to the workshop, the Commission will publish an agenda and further information on its Web site. Comments in response to this notice must be received on or before March 1, 2014. ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper, by following the instructions in the Request for Comment part of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Trade Commission vigorously promotes competition in the health care industry through enforcement, study, and advocacy. Competition in health care markets benefits consumers by helping to control costs and prices, improve quality of care, promote innovative products, services, and delivery models, and expand access to health care goods and services. As addressed below, this proposed workshop is consistent with these FTC priorities. I. Background: Follow-On Competition in Pharmaceutical Markets In particular, the Commission has sought to protect competition among pharmaceutical products, including generic drugs providing price competition against brand-name drugs. Until relatively recently, the potential for follow-on competition was limited to products involving traditional ‘‘smallmolecule’’ generic drugs. Producers of these drugs obtain approval from the Food & Drug Administration (‘‘FDA’’) pursuant to an abbreviated regulatory pathway established by the HatchWaxman Act.1 Biologic medicines have now become among the most important pharmaceutical products in the United States. Biologics comprise the fastest growing sector within pharmaceuticals, and target such difficult to treat diseases as cancer, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.2 ‘‘Biologics’’ include, for 1 See The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. 301 et seq. (2011), as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, Public Law 98–417, 98 Stat. 1585 (codified as amended in scattered sections of 21 & 35 U.S.C.) (known as HatchWaxman), and the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, Public Law 108–173, § 1112, 117 Stat. 2066, 2461– 63 (codified at 21 U.S.C. 355). 2 Health Policy Brief: Biosimilars, Health Affairs 1 (Oct. 10, 2013), https://healthaffairs.org/ healthpolicybriefs/brief_pdfs/healthpolicybrief_ 100.pdf (‘‘[Biologics] account for a substantial and increasing share of the pharmaceutical market and a growing share of health care costs’’).
