NBCDs – Considerations for hospital pharmacy practice
Non-Biological Complex Drugs (NBCDs) are drugs that comprise large high molecular weight molecules and, often, nanoparticles structures. They differ from typical small chemical molecules and also from biotechnologyderived medicinal products (large proteins).
For NBCDs, the entire complex is the active pharmaceutical ingredient and its properties cannot be fully characterized by physicochemical analysis. Most of these medicinal products will have to be managed in a hospital setting, which is why the interdisciplinary pharmacotherapy committees need to consider all levels of evidence generated, focusing specifically on data related to clinical safety and efficacy comparability, discussing interchangeability decisions more like a biosimilar than a generic approach.

BackgroundandImportance Monoclonalantibodiesareusually dosedbythekilogrammeofthepatient’ sweight,duetoperceivedcontributionofbodysizeinpharmacokineticvariability.Lately,especiallyduringtheCOVIDpandemic,alotof monoclonalantibodies,includingpembrolizumab,were switchedtofixeddosing.Pembrolizumabwasinitiallydosed at2mg/kg,fixeddosingincludes200mgeverythreeweeks or400mgeverysixweeks(Freshwater,2017).Thefixed dosingismoreconvenient,eliminatesthewaste,might improvepatient ’scomplianceandreducesdosingerrors.
