In vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) technology allows formulation and manufacturing (CMC) professionals to understand how dissolution parameters affect in vivo drug performance. IVIVC can be performed at one of three levels—A, B, and C. Getting the most out of this tool requires knowing when and how to use which level of IVIVC. Here are some … Continued
In vitro in vivo correlation (IVIVC) links in vitro drug data to in vivo performance. Regarding in vivo performance, IVIVC can predict either the in vivo plasma time-concentration curve or in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters like Cmax and AUC. In this blog, I will discuss Level C IVIVC, and when you should use this approach. … Continued
Dissolution testing is a standard tool in a formulation scientist’s arsenal. When companies make changes to drug products (particle size, excipients, manufacturing process, equipment, etc), health authorities often require comparing dissolution profiles to determine if the reference and test products are equivalent. Generic drug developers are also required to show bioequivalence between the branded drug … Continued
