Hi Amr,

If you are considering an EU submission, this is what the EMA guideline says: Other oral formulations such as orodispersible films, buccal tablets or films, sublingual tablets and chewable tablets may be handled in a similar way as for ODTs. Bioequivalence studies should be conducted according to the recommended use of the product.

And, sublingual tablets are not eligible for a BCS-based biowaiver (even if isosorbid dinitrate was highly soluble, highly permeable).

It appears you would need to conduct a bioequivalence study if submitting to the EU.

Dear Mr Amr Hussein,

❝ The necessity to do bioequivalence study for sublingual tablets especially isosorbid dinitrate 5mg tablets as it is totally absorbed from oromucosal cavity


Even FDA recommends to do Bioequivalence study for ANDA submission of Isosorbide dinitrate sublingual tablets.

Reference: FDA Docket No. 77N-0240; DESI 1786

Hi!

Found a case of a (nearly) European Agency (UK :-D ) granting a biowaiver for a chewable tablet, so apparently this type of formulation is considered closer to a conventional IR tablet, from regulatory perspective, although the 2010 EMA guidance on BE considers chewable tablets to be comparable to ODT, for which BE is required...

Kindest regards, nobody
