BIOEQUIVALENCE REGULATORY COURSE
March 1st, 2019 Webinar: Introduction to Bioequivalence Studies and Regulations
This webinar’s objective is to introduce the basics of bioequivalence studies, how it is use in generic drug development and approval. Additionally, a brief introduction of global regulations related to bioequivalence will be reviewed. The attendee will leave this webinar with a basic understanding of how bioequivalence studies are the cornerstone of ensuring that generic drug products are safe and as effective as the brand drug products they are based on.
Outline of Topics
Principles of Bioequivalence
Regulatory authority on bioequivalence (BE)
Definitions of key Bioequivalence terms
Why BE studies are requested
Approaches to determine BE
Designing a Bioequivalence study
March 13th, 2019 Webinar: Introduction to Bioanalytical Method Validation and Bioanalysis
This webinar’s objective is to introduce the topic of bioanalytical method validation and discussing how validation is important in ensuring that the data generated from bioequivalence study samples (Bioanalysis) are valid and representative of product (both generic and brand) performance in vivo. The attendee will leave the webinar with a basic understanding of importance role of bioanalytical method validation and bioanalysis have on the evaluation of samples from bioequivalence studies.
Outline of Topics
Small Molecule Quantitation
Method Development
Method Validation
Validation criteria
Subject Sample Analysis
March 27th, 2019 Webinar: Introduction to Dissolution testing
This webinar’s objective is to introduce the dissolution test and highlight its important role during generic drug approval, and after drug approval. A brief introduction of how dissolution testing is used as part of the waiver of bioequivalence studies will be presented. The attendee will leave the webinar with a basic understanding of dissolution testing and its key role in generic drug development and approval.
