Ezetimibe: Parent vs Metabolite data [Regulatives / Guidelines]
Dear Siri
As long as the parent drug is quantifiable and the complete pharmacokinetics of the unchanged drug can be established you have to demonstrate bioequivalence based on the parent drug according to CPMP/EWP/QWP/1401/98 Rev. 1. The active metabolite does not need to be measured. If you want to measure the active metabolite (for what reasons ever) then I suggest to present the data only as supportive evidence of comparable therapeutic outcome and not as primary objective of the study.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Dan
