The standard approach for approval of generic drugs is to run a bioequivalence study to demonstrate that a generic product is comparable to an approved (ie, reference) drug in their rate and extent of absorption. The rate and extent of drug absorption are determined from the pharmacokinetic parameters: peak concentration (Cmax) and the area under … Continued
An IVIVC (in vitro-in vivo correlation) is a mathematical relationship that predicts key pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC) from in vitro dissolution data. Drug developers use IVIVCs for 3 major reasons: To serve as a surrogate for human bioequivalence (BE) studies To support and/or validate the use of dissolution methods and specifications To assist in quality … Continued
Drug development professionals frequently use computer systems to help them understand the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of an investigational drug. To satisfy regulatory expectations, these computer systems should be validated. As a recent article points out, failure to do computer system validation for the software functionality that a user intends to use, with data … Continued
