Choosing between formulations

Formulation IVIVC Preclinical

The situation

Three prototypes, a preclinical PK study on each, and a decision due before the tox batch is committed.

What we do

  • Rank on in vivo exposure, not dissolution alone
  • Separate real differences from study noise
  • Build and test the dissolution-to-exposure correlation

What you get

  • A ranked recommendation, with the reasoning
  • Dissolution specifications backed by exposure
  • A first correlation to carry into clinical development

Regulatory basis

For extended-release oral products, FDA guidance allows an IVIVC established on human data to support a biowaiver when formulation, process or site change. Ranking prototypes on in vivo exposure early prepares the ground for it.

FDA, Extended Release Oral Dosage Forms: IVIVC
