❝ "A multiple dose study is needed unless a single dose study has been performed with the highest strength which has demonstrated that the mean AUC(0-τ) after the first dose covers more than 90% of mean AUC(0-∞) for both test and reference, and consequently a low extent of accumulation is expected".


This does not seem so cryptic anyway...

Let's assume a once daily dosing is the standard regimen for the originator (reference) product.
You have to perform a BE single dose study with both test and reference formulations at the highest registered strength and compute AUC0-24h and AUC0-inf. If this study demonstrate that AUC0-24h > 0.9 × AUC0-inf for both test and reference, it is not necessary to perform a MD BE study.

Hope this helps.
