All about comparator drug

Comparator drugs are also known as reference-listed drugs. These drugs have already been approved and have a license. Also, these drugs are already being used in the market to treat patients. Comparing new generic versions with reference-listed drugs shows the biochemical similarity, having the same active ingredient and effect on patients. In its regulatory submissions, a drug company seeks approval to market a generic equivalent and refers to the Reference Listed Drug

There is heavy demand for alternatives to generic medicines in the pharmaceutical industry. Heavy demand for alternative generic medicines results in pressure on pharmaceutical companies to frame robust strategies for selecting a Comparator drug and then sourcing and maintaining an uninterrupted supply of that drug to all trial sites in a cost-effective manner. 

The top 10 pharmaceutical companies together spend more than $20 million every year on comparator sourcing. Innovators or drug producers, wholesalers, and local distributors can carry out direct comparator sourcing.
