 Selection of dose in BE study of Ivermectin 3 mg tabs for EU [Design Issues]

Dear All,

As per FDA's Bioequivalence recommendations for Ivermectin 3mg tablets, they recommended to conduct single dose, two-way crossover fasting study with 2 x 3 mg tablet (6 mg dose).

http://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm296901.pdf

We are planning to conduct bioequivalence study for Ivermectin 3mg tablets for EU. The product administration posology ranges from 1 tablets to 8 tablets depending upon body weight. Link to SmPC of one of the available generic product is given below for ready reference.

Please suggest which dose to be used in BE study for EU market (1 tablet of 3 mg or 2 tablets of 3 mg or any other dose).

Thanks.

Kind regards
Helmut

 Strength (EMA) vs. dose (FDA)

Hi Deep,

please see this post #3. Contrary to the FDA (generally requiring the highest dose) the EMA requires the most sensitive strength (for the conditions see the BE-GL Section 4.1.6). Since you want to apply only for one strength, a single dose study in fasting state (1 × 3 mg) is sufficient.
