Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration issued on February 9, 2012, drafts of three new guidance documents about the demonstration of biosimilarity. One of these deals with scientific considerations. It suggests, among others, that demonstration of biosimilarity be developed by a stepwise (step-by-step) approach and that it be assessed by considering the totality of the evidence. This communication provides comments on some scientific factors and issues that still remain unanswered or unsolved. They include the question 'how similar is considered to be highly similar?' considerations of criteria for and the degree of biosimilarity; alternatives of study design and sample size requirements; statistical methods for achieving the totality of the evidence needed for biosimilarity; and methods needed for the assessment of drug interchangeability. It is anticipated that the comments will assist the revision of the guidance documents.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
