Highly Variable Drugs: Observations from Bioequivalence Data Submitted to the FDA for New Generic Drug Applications
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2008, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
It is widely believed that acceptable bioequivalence studies of drugs with high within-subject pharmacokinetic variability must enroll higher numbers of subjects than studies of drugs with lower variability. We studied the scope of this issue within US generic drug regulatory submissions.

Tissue Distribution Studies of Protein Therapeutics Using Molecular Probes: Molecular Imaging
Molecular imaging techniques for protein therapeutics rely on reporter labels, especially radionuclides or sometimes near-infrared fluorescent moieties, which must be introduced with minimal perturbation of the protein&#...
Pharmacodynamic Studies to Demonstrate Bioequivalence of Oral Inhalation Products
In the session on “Pharmacodynamic studies to demonstrate efficacy and safety”, presentations were made on methods of evaluating airway deposition of inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators, and syste...
Interspecies considerations in the evaluation of human food safety for veterinary drugs
Residues are composed of the parent drug and metabolites, and therefore interspecies comparisons must involve a consideration of comparative xenobiotic metabolism. The focus of this article will be the residue studies th...
Prediction of the Deposition of Dry Powder Aerosols
The trajectory, mass fluxes, and deposition of aerosolized particles in a complex tubular system have been predicted. A procedure based on Lagrangian stochastic modeling is proposed to enable the anticipation of such phe...
