Through a comprehensive synthesis, the manuscript advocates for a conscientious approach that upholds the dignity and rights of research participants while advancing scientific progress. Ethical considerations serve as a cornerstone, guiding researchers in fostering transparent, inclusive, and accountable practices that contribute to the well-being of communities impacted by dental research.

Facing the expensive cost of the high cost of these drugs, biosimilar drugs have gradually emerged. They are “similar” to the originator drug but less expensive, as they do not have to bear patent and R&D costs. However, these treatments present a high risk of immunogenicity, and are subject to a strict marketing authorization. It also raises the question of their interchangeability, to ensure a high penetration rate. Nevertheless, the mechanism of permutation by the prescriber is well developed. Their substitution by the pharmacist continues to be debated. Legislative and regulatory developments have constantly fluctuated between authorizing substitution and rejecting it. The latest Social Security Financing Act 2024 of December 26th, 2023 should have marked a clear broadening of the conditions for substitution, but the legislator opted for an unambitious solution. These reversals demonstrate the tensions surrounding the issue of biosimilar substitution. On one hand, patients’ fears of any potential adverse effects needs to be acknowledge by healthcare professionals; on the other, the substantial economic stakes involved underline the need to speed up the process. The question of marketing and substituting biosimilar drugs is here addressed in a comparative approach with generic and hybrid drugs.

In France, a clinical research program funded by the Ministry of Health was undertaken to evaluate the benefit of this strategy when IVF is carried out in women aged 35 to 41. This program was interrupted because its authorization was canceled by a court on the grounds that the search for aneuploidy in the embryo is a preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and that this type of analysis is not provided for in the governing law. The law says in fact that a PGD can only be carried out if “<em>has been previously and precisely identified, in one of the parents or one of their immediate ascendants in the case of a seriously disabling illness, with late revelation and prematurely endangering the vital prognosis</em>”. But the chromosomal analysis provided for in the research protocol is not a diagnosis, it is a test which identifies the embryos most capable of developing.
