Ovaleap ® (XM17) is a recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone to treat infertility by inducing ovulation or controlled ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures. Ovaleap ® (follitropin-α) was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2013 as a biosimilar medicinal product to the reference medicine, Gonal-f ® . Information is often not easily accessible and/or publicly available regarding the rigorous manufacturing procedures for biosimilars. Objectives of the current analysis were to report on validation procedures for the Ovaleap ® manufacturing process, to compare the characteristics of Ovaleap ® versus Gonal-f ® , and to describe the performance and consistency of Ovaleap ® . Formal validation of the Ovaleap ® manufacturing process was performed at full commercial scale, consisting of several consecutive fermentation and purification runs. Comparison with Gonal-f ® involved numerous techniques to determine molecular structure, isoform distribution, biological activity, and product-related impurities. The stability of the multidose application system, targeted for long-term stability at ambient temperature, was assessed and demonstrated. All analyses showed the manufacturing process of Ovaleap ® to be robust and consistent. Ovaleap ® was found to have similar characteristics when compared with Gonal-f ® . This analysis supports the role of Ovaleap ® as a biosimilar to Gonal-f ® , thus providing patients and clinicians with another therapeutic option during ART procedures.
