Applying GastroPlus Modeling Establish Level A IVIVCs Waive Biostudies
Bioavailability/bioequivalence (BA/BE) evaluation by employing in vitro dissolution/release data and clinically relevant specification is required by the regulators. For BCS 1/BCS 3 drugs formulated as immediate release (IR) oral dosage forms, a BCS-based biowaiver may be granted based on the in vitro dissolution profiles generated across the physiologically relevant pH range. For drugs/formulations with dissolution/release limited/controlled absorption, establishing Level A in vitro – in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) can be applied and further utilized to assess whether BA/BE is recommended.
