 single versus multiple dose [Regulatives / Guidelines]

Hello

The international guidance (ICH, FDA) recommend for the modified release formulation 2 BE studies: single dose and multiple dose (steady state).

The sponsor performed only a multiple dose study for a MR product.

If the SD and SS PK parameters are the same, do you consider that the study may be approved by a national agency?

Have a good day, Jo

 single versus multiple dose

Dear Jo!

❝ The international guidance (ICH, FDA) recommend for the modified release

❝ formulation 2 BE studies: single dose and multiple dose (steady state).

  • There's no ICH-guideline on BE.
  • FDA recommends single-dose BE (http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/5356fnl.pdf [image] Section III.A.6.), unless conditions stated in CFR320.27(3) apply. Given the stated conditions multiple dose studies generally are required additionally to single dose.

❝ The sponsor performed only a multiple dose study for a MR product.


Hhm.

What do you mean by

❝ SD and SS PK parameters are the same'

if only the MD study was performed? Or do you mean reference to literature showing that the drug follows linear PK (superposition principle: AUCtau=AUCinf)?

❝ ... do you consider that the study may be approved by a national agency?


Which one? Regulations differ…

 single versus multiple dose

Thank you for your response.

I am really sorry, but I was thinking on the EMEA guidance CPMP/EWP/280/96 for the modified release dosage forms.

Indeed, in the reference Spc is noted that the product follows linear PK.


I don't agree the Sponsor idea to perform only a multiple dose BE study for the MR product, but I really would like to know if there is a rational scientifically explanation in this case.

Dear Jo!

Oh, I was confused since you mentioned ICH & FDA. :cool:

❝ Indeed, in the reference Spc is noted that the product follows linear PK.


Fine.

I would not do it either. The only rationale I could think of is the other way 'round, namely performing a single dose study only (e.g., for delayed release formulations, where no accumulation occurs).
CPMP/EWP/280/96 in Section 5.1 clearly states:

'Prolonged release formulations can be assessed as bioequivalent on the basis of single and multiple dose studies [...] performance of the test and the reference formulation is equivalent after single dose and at steady state'.
