 TGA: old or new EU GL? [Regulatives / Guidelines]

Hi,

TGA follow the new updated guideline of EMEA,
"GUIDELINE ON THE INVESTIGATION OF BIOEQUIVALENCE"
Doc. Ref.: CPMP/QWP/EWP/1401/98 Rev. 1

For TGA need to follow old guideline approved in (January 2002, Doc. Ref.: CPMP/QWP/EWP/1401/98) or new EMEA updated guideline?


Edit: Subject line changed. [Helmut]

 TGA: new EU GL not adopted yet

Dear Paresh,

what about the Guidelines on top of the page?

The adopted Note for Guidance (April 2002) is still in force (see also European Union guidelines adopted in Australia > Clinical guidelines). The new European GL was in consultation end of June 2010 and was not mentioned ever since. Maybe dudes down under need so'more time. :smoke:

Thanks for reply,

So need to keep AUC0-INF also as primary PK parameter (as per old EMEA Guideline), and need to prove 90% CI for AUC0-INF between 80.00 - 125.00% for Bioequivalence proof of the drug for TGA submission.

 TGA: BE on AUCt

Dear Paresh!

❝ So need to keep AUC0-INF also as primary PK parameter (as per old EMEA

❝ Guideline), and need to prove 90% CI for AUC0-INF between 80.00 - 125.00%

❝ for Bioequivalence proof of the drug for TGA submission.


Well, I haven't performed any studies specifically for TGA - but really a lot according to the old EU NfG. See Section 3.3:

In bioequivalence studies the AUCt is the most reliable reflection of the extent of absorption.

I never (!) had any problems performing the assessment for BE only on AUCt.

Of course keeping in mind Section 3.1:

The sampling schedule should be planned [...] to cover the plasma concentration time curve long enough to provide a reliable estimate of the extent of absorption. This is generally achieved if the AUC derived from measurements is at least 80% of the AUC extrapolated to infinity.


What I did was:
  • Present a table of extrapolated areas in % of AUCinf.
  • Present descriptive statistics of AUCinf for test and reference (no confidence interval or T/R!).
  • BE based on AUCt.
EMA (and TGA and many other countries' regulatory authorities) # FDA (where you to demonstrate BE of AUCt and AUCinf).

producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
