FDA Publish Guidance on Submission of Summary Bioequivalence Data for ANDAs
This guidance is intended to assist applicants who are submitting abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) in complying with FDA’s requirements for the submission of bioequivalence (BE) data. FDA’s final rule on “Requirements for Submission of Bioequivalence Data” (the BE data rule) requires an ANDA applicant to submit data from all BE studies the applicant conducts on a drug product formulation submitted for approval, including studies that do not demonstrate that the generic product meets the current bioequivalence criteria.2 All BE studies conducted on the same drug product formulation must be submitted to the Agency as either a complete study report or a summary report of the BE data.3 The amended regulations include a definition of same drug product formulation (section 320.1(g)).
This guidance provides information on the following subjects:
•Types of ANDA submissions covered by the BE data rule.
•Recommended format for summary reports of BE studies.
•Types of formulations the Agency considers to be the same drug product formulation for different dosage forms based on differences in composition.
This guidance does not address which formulations the Agency considers to be the same drug product formulation based on differences in methods of manufacture.
The guidance is applicable to BE studies conducted for ANDAs during both preapproval and postapproval periods.
