Necessity of MD study based on expected accumulation [Regulatives / Guidelines]

Dear all,

the EMA requires multiple dose studies of prolonged release products if the mean AUC_τ–∞ of both products after a single dose is >10% of AUC_0–∞,^1,2 whereas Health Canada was less restrictive (>20%).^2,3 However, according to the current guidance of HC steady-state studies are not generally required.⁴

Discovered this goody about BE of extended release veterinary products:^5,6,7

For extended release formulations intended for repeated dosing, demonstration of BE should be based on multiple dose studies if there is accumulation between doses (i.e., if there will be at least a 2-fold increase in drug concentrations at steady state as compared to that observed after a single dose). […] If there is no or negligible accumulation, single dose BE data could also be sufficient for extended release formulations intended for repeated dosing.

Kudos. Accumulation <2 (AUC_τ–∞ <50% of AUC_0–∞) is considered negligible.

Hi nobody,

❝ Vienna calling...

Rightyright.

❝ Have you switched to Animal Farm? All pigs are created equal?

When I posted that I almost referred to Mr Orwell. :-D

❝ Can you elaborate on this a little more? Scheerans et al. showed that EMA is overly conservative, not really a surprise, or?

It isn’t. At the EUFEPS 3^rd International Conference of the Global Bioequivalence Harmonisation Initiative last month in Amsterdam an entire session was devoted to this issue. Guess my opinion.
EMA reminded me of the indomitable village.

One of my favorites. Also a rare example where Terry Gilliam performs (as Cardinal Fang). I have everything of MP still on VHS-tapes rotting away.
