A generic drug is considered an exact copy of an already existing authorized drug product. On the other hand, a hybrid drug differs in some ways from its reference product while still being based on data from the same. Biosimilar is a term for a product similar to an already approved biological product.
The challenging part with abridged applications is often that you must plan what to do to fulfill the regulatory requirements from a regulatory perspective and simultaneously make sure to work fast as you compete with other companies for approval and market shares.
