 BE study's clinical phase

Dear Balaji!

Phase I - though some nitpickers claim that the innovator's reference product is already in Phase IV (naming this type of study Phase I/IV)...

 Clinical phase

According to me, BA/BE studies does not fall under any of the above phases. Its a clinical study that is different from all of it. There we have trials on new drug, but here the drug is generic. So no chance of categorizing BA/BE study in the above phases. :-)

I think that your opinion is rather solitary... :cool:
Just a reminder: BE studies are not essentially the comparison of a generic with an innovator's reference. Examples of BE studies an innovator company performs (sometimes strict BE; sometimes only by design):
* BE between the formulation intended for MA vs. Phase I-III formulations
* Food studies
* PK interaction studies
* Dose proportionality studies
