Medicamentos biotecnológicos : anticuerpos monoclonales y biosimilares

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Biotechnological drugs are those which are obtained from living organisms by means of the genetic modification. They have been introduced recently. Besides, they have been revolutioning the treatment of countless chronic systemic diseases, since they act on highly specific targets, the majority of them known thanks to the development of the molecular biology. These sort of drugs are widely applied among rheumatic and oncologic diseases and, lately, their use has been spread over every single field of the medicine. Monoclonal antibodies are the group of biotechnological drugs which have been more researched; they are immunoglobulins whose function consist of neutralizing specifically serological mediators and determined cell lines. They are more effective than the conventional drugs, and their safety profile is clearly established. One of the drawbacks is their high price; therefore, it was necessary to invest a huge amount of money at the beginning, and that is the reason why there are not always available in all fields. Hence, biosimilar drugs (the generic ones from the biological products) could turn out to be a good and much more economical alternative, but it is still needed to clarify certain points of the management of these new drugs.

Los medicamentos biotecnológicos son aquellos obtenidos a partir de seres vivos tras la modificación genética mediante técnicas de laboratorio. Son fármacos de introducción relativamente reciente, que han revolucionado el tratamiento de numerosas enfermedades crónicas sistémicas, actuando sobre dianas muy específicas de las que tenemos conocimiento gracias al desarrollo de la biología molecular. De amplia aplicación en las enfermedades reumatológicas y en oncología, en los últimos años su campo de aplicación se ha extendido de forma exponencial, y no hay disciplina en la que estos medicamentos no estén en fase de investigación. Los anticuerpos monoclonales constituyen uno de los grupos de estos medicamentos más ampliamente desarrollados, son inmunoglobulinas dirigidas frente a mediadores y líneas celulares específicas, con un alto grado de eficacia cuando los fármacos convencionales han fracasado y con un perfil de seguridad bien conocido. De precio muy elevado, por lo que fue necesario invertir en su desarrollo previo, no siempre están accesibles; así los biosimilares (“los genéricos” de los productos biológicos) podrían ser una alternativa a un precio más asequible, pero aún quedan puntos por aclarar en el manejo de estos fármacos
