Murray P. Ducharme

Scientific Tracks Abstracts: JBB

Abstract:

M odifi ed release products are becoming more and more sophisticated in their design and release, prompting a careful scientifi c re-evaluation of what pharmacokinetic metrics and statistical tests are needed to make sure that generic products are truly equivalent to their reference counterparts, while ensuring that additional evaluations or tests are not required needlessly. It is therefore crucial that regulatory requirements are scientifi cally sound to protect the public, while allowing access to generic products once market exclusivity and patent protection have elapsed. Th is presentation will be broken up in three parts. A summary of the current requirements from US FDA, Health Canada and EMA will fi rst be reviewed for the diff erent classes of modifi ed release products available. A critical evaluation of these requirements will follow. Case examples will be presented to highlight certain points. Finally, specifi c scientifi c recommendations will be proposed in order to stimulate further discussion and debate on this topic from a global harmonization perspective
