Biologics as therapeutics

Over the last 25 years many biological therapeutics have been approved for clinical use, and many of these for diseases where there was no other available therapy. There has been an evolution over this time period from proteins intended to be ‘nature identical’ to the development of engineered products and use of novel protein scaffolds intended to confer a pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic or other advantage over the natural counterpart. In addition, protein engineering has allowed the development of monoclonal antibodies as highly potent modulators directed at specific peptides/proteins.
