Hi,

❝ Recently US FDA has published a Draft Guidance on Tacrolimus Capsule bioequivalence where it has suggested following


Where do you get page 3? I only see page 2. Is your link correct or I am still sleeping here in the east coast USA? The document I read is dated "Finalized Sep 2009, Revised Dec 2012"

❝ a) Now in view of these lines, does a full replicate study is really going to help any sponsor in getting widening or still need to follow 80-125?


FDA wants you to compare the intrasubject variation between test and reference which full replicate will give. Reason is that the difference needs to be minimal since the product is a NTI. Differences as a result of inferior pharmaceutical / manufacturing quality may be dangerous when patients switch from brand to generics. Only full replicate study will give you this info. See this slides from a FDA meeting NTI BE Presentation

Back to the page 3 info which I don't see.

❝ Use the unscaled average bioequivalence procedure to determine BE for individual PK parameter(s). Every study should pass the scaled average bioequivalence limits and also regular unscaled bioequivalence limits of 80.00-125.00%


If a parameter passes ABE, it should pass SABE correct? Okay it doesn't necessary work the other way around. But in this case, since the intrasubject variability is less than 30% (as per FDA's info on the guidance), a properly powered study with an acceptable test formulation should have no issue passing both correct?

Just my 2 cents...
