Dear Pankaj!

❝ This is my first post on this forum,…

Welcome to the club!

❝ These guidelines are for IR products. Can this be applicable to MR product also.

1. Yes. 2. Very good question. The MR guidance is a little bit outdated (1999) - and you may expect that regulators are quite aware about recent developments. The current workprogramme of EMA's EWP states that a revision of CPMP/EWP/280/96 is to be considered in 2010. Reading the comments to the drafted BE-guideline, I got the impression that EMA removed the requirement due to the high variability reported by respondents. For controlled release formulations variability might be lower than variability of an IR formulation in steady state - but for a delayed release product it might well be even worse.

❝ Can we assume that the CminSS is not required for MR product also.

Even better question. I don’t think you should assume that. The MR NfG is still applicable; in the light of the new IR BE-GL I would suggest to go for a scientific advice (probably in a difficult country).

❝ Also would like to know if by anyways we can justify a steady state study that has failed at steady state for Cmin.

Hhm, post-hoc decisions are never a good idea. You can’t justify anything afterwards - you may only try to start an argument.
