Bioequivalence and Bioavailability Forum

Hi again!

Just by chance I stumbled upon this here:

https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/dabigatran-etexilate-product-specific-bioequivalence-guidance

Have a look at the comments by the originator and the final guidance. OK, pH and dabigatran is an issue, but is it really sufficient that the originator writes some 15-20 lines of text (without any citation?) to introduce a rather complex study to the development of a generic? No data at all supporting this claim? And EMA just buys it? Are we back to the 1950's?

Or all data trade secrets? OMG... reminds me of some witch hunt before the inquisition started to introduce some legal procedures before the death penalty was imposed.

Sorry, too late for "edit", but this might be a clear case for a publication in the Journal "Well, trust us"...
