Bioequivalence Assessment

Background: Bioequivalence studies are a vital part of drug development. The average bioequivalence approach is the standard method of assessment to conclude whether the generic product is bioequivalent to the innovator product. Of late, debates are on whether the average bioequivalence approach adequately addresses drug interchangeability as it considers only population mean for the evaluation especially when highly variable drug products and narrow therapeutic index drugs are dealt with. Hence, the alternative approaches like population bioequivalence and individual bioequivalence assessment approaches emerge as they consider inter/intra-subject variance and subject- by-formulation variance along with population mean. Objectives: The objective of the study was to apply different bioequivalence assessment approaches in a replicate bioequivalence study to evaluate the drug interchangeability. Methods: This was an open-label, single-dose, randomized, balanced, two-treatment, three-period, three-sequence, partial replicate crossover bioequivalence study of omeprazole enteric-coated tablet 20 mg conducted on 48 normal healthy subjects under fed conditions. The plasma concentration of omeprazole was analyzed by a validated bioanalytical method to determine the pharmacokinetic and statistical parameters to assess average bioequivalence, population bioequivalence, and individual bioequivalence. Results: In this study, test formulation was shown to be bio-inequivalent to the reference formulation by average bioequivalence, population bioequivalence, and individual bioequivalence approaches. Conclusion: The outcome of the evaluation clearly states that the bioequivalence outcome of all these approaches are the same. Obviously, it does not mean that these three approaches provide the same outcome though the consideration of variances varies. Certainly, population bioequivalence and individual bioequivalence approach will be more accurate for the assessment of drug interchangeability.

Introduction/Study Objectives: A bioequivalence study was performed to compare the pharmacological profile of innovator etoricoxib (ETO) with a newly developed generic ETO, both in a 120 mg tablet formulation. A dissolution study was conducted to optimize the formulation process before evaluating physical changes in the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the formulated product. Methods: This was a randomized, open-label, balanced, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence, single-dose, two-way crossover, truncated bioequivalence study involving a washout period of ten days. A total of 26 healthy male volunteers were recruited. The pharmacokinetic profile of the test formulation was compared with the reference formulation. Results/Discussion: The pharmacokinetic parameters of ETO were calculated based on the plasma drug concentration-time profile using non-compartmental analysis to determine its safety profile and tolerability. The Test/Reference (T/R) ratio of ETO was 104.36% (90% confidence interval (CI): 98.30%–110.80%) for area under curve (AUC)0-72 while the T/R ratio of maximum concentration (Cmax) was 101.39% (92.15%–111.56%). The 90% CI of the Cmax and AUC0-72 of ETO were within acceptable bioequivalence limits of 80%–125%. All values were within the predetermined limits of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) bioequivalence guidelines. Conclusion: The test formulation was found to be bioequivalent with respect to the reference drug, according to ASEAN bioequivalence guidelines.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of Liposomal Amphotericin B for injection in healthy Chinese volunteers based on a pilot bioequivalence clinical trial between a generic formulation and Ambisome ® Methods: This randomized, two sequence, open label, single dose,two period crossover study was conducted in healthy volunteers at the dose of 2mg kg Blood samples were collected at pre defined time points up to 674 h after the start of the 2 h infusion. Plasma concentrations of total, unencapsulated and encapsulated amphotericin B were determined. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using non compartmental model . The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the 90% confidence interval ls (CIs) of the geometric mean ratio of C max and AUC of both products for free and encapsulated amphotericin B were within80.00 1 25.00 for L n transformed data. Results and conclusion: All the 12subjects completed the two period study , no subjects withdrew the study. The plasma pharmacokinetic profile of liposomal amphotericin B based on free, encapsulated and total amphotericin B demonstrated the characteristics of a three compartment al model. The majority drug in the circulating system after IV infusion of liposomal amphotericin B is remained liposomal form . Pharmacokinetic behaviors in Chinese population w ere consistent with that in western healthy population based on total and unbound amphotericin B concentrations in plasma. The generic liposomal amphotericin B for injection is bioequivalent to Ambisome ® in terms of the Pharmacokinetic parameters for free, encapsulated and total amphotericin B.

Abstract Background: Levamlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, has been show act as a cardiovascular drug. To compare the pharmacokinetic parameters between levamlodipine (test formulation) at a single dose of 5 mg and amlodipine (reference formulation) at a single dose of 10 mg, the bioequivalence study was carried out.Methods: A single-dose randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study was designed in healthy Chinese subjects. 48 subjects were divided into fasted and fed groups equally. The subjects randomly received the test or reference formulations at the rate of 1:1. Following a 21-day washout period, the alternative formulations were received. The blood samples were collected at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours later. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to determine the plasma concentrations of levamlodipine. Adverse events were recorded.Results: The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the ratio of geometric means (GMRs) of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ under both fasted and fed conditions were within the prespecified bioequivalence limits between 80~125%. Under fasted conditions, 24 subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean Cmax was (2.70±0.49) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (141.32±36.24) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (157.14±45.65) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 5 mg levamlodipine. The mean Cmax was (2.83±0.52) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (153.62±33.96) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (173.05±41.78) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 10 mg amlodipine. Under fed conditions, 24 subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean Cmax was (2.73±0.55) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (166.93±49.96) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (190.99±70.89) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 5 mg levamlodipine. The mean Cmax was (2.87±0.81) ng/mL AUC0-t was (165.46±43.58) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (189.51±64.70) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 10 mg amlodipine. Serious adverse event was not observed.Conclusion: The trial confirmed that levamlodipine at a single dose of 5 mg and amlodipine at a single dose of 10 mg were bioequivalent under both fasted condition and fed condition.Trial registration: Cinicaltrials, NCT04411875.
