Enoxaparin is a complex, biologically derived low-molecular-weight heparin. The manufacturing process for biologics is complex which makes difficult to obtain exact replicas of the reference biologic. This is why there is a critical need to ensure that generics of biologic medicines are safe and effective. This study was carried out to assess the comparability of a Tunisian generic enoxaparin (Enoxamed®, Unimed Laboratory, Tunisia) with the originator product (Lovenox®; Sanofi US, Bridgewater, New Jersey) through non-clinical in vitro study in healthy volunteers and clinical studies (phases III and IV) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). For non-clinical study, blood from healthy volunteers was used to compare the effect of both formulations using anti-Xa activity and the thrombin generation test (TGT). All parameters of TGT were analyzed. For clinical studies, ACS.. View More»
