I.INTRODUCTION
17
18
This guidance is intended to assist manufacturers of human drug products in meeting the
19
requirements of 21 CFR 211.110 for demonstrating the adequacy of mixing to ensure uniformity of in-process powder blends and finished dosage units. This guidance describes the procedures 20
21
for assessing powder mix adequacy, correlating in-process dosage unit test results with powder 22
mix test results, and establishing the initial criteria for control procedures used in routine
23
manufacturing.
24
25
FDA's guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable
26
responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency's current thinking on a topic and should 27
be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are
28
cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or 29
recommended, but not required.
30
31
II.BACKGROUND
32
33
34
This guidance is the result of an Agency effort to achieve a science-based policy and regulatory enforcement. Experts from industry, academia, and the FDA developed the principles
35
36
underlying this guidance after extensive public discussion. A brief history of the evolution of 37
this guidance is provided in the following paragraphs.
1 This guidance has been prepared by the Office of Pharmaceutical Science and the Office of Compliance in the
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) at the Food and Drug Administration in cooperation with the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI) (see footnote 3). This guidance document represents the Agency's
current thinking on assessment of the uniformity of powder blends and finished dosage units in the absence of new technology development or implementation.
38
39
In response to industry concerns regarding regulations for demonstrating the adequacy of in-
40
process powder mixing, the FDA published a draft guidance for industry on blend uniformity 41
analysis in August 1999.2 Comments submitted to the docket resulted in the formation of the 42
Blend Uniformity Working Group (BUWG) by the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI).3 43
The PQRI BUWG conducted a public meeting, PQRI Workshop on Blend Uniformity, on
44
September 7 and 8, 2000.
45
46
Using the consensus reached by participants in this workshop, the BUWG developed a draft
47
recommendation, The Use of Stratified Sampling of Blend and Dosage Units to Demonstrate
Adequacy of Mix for Powder Blends. The draft recommendation received examination and peer 48
49
review in multiple scientific and public venues. In addition, the Advisory Committee for
50
Pharmaceutical Science (ACPS) reviewed the draft recommendation and received public
51
comment during scheduled meetings of the committee.4 The draft recommendation was revised 52
to incorporate the results of peer review and public comment and was presented to CDER's
53
Center Director in final form on December 30, 2002. The recommendation was subsequently 54
published in the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology.5 This draft guidance 55
reflects CDER's effort to incorporate the draft recommendation into regulatory policy.
56

III.SCOPE
59
60
Stratified sampling is the process of sampling dosage units at predefined intervals and collecting representative samples from specifically targeted locations in the compression/filling operation 61
62
that have the greatest potential to yield extreme highs and lows in test results. These test results 63
are used to monitor the manufacturing process output that is most responsible for causing
64
finished product variability. The test results can be used to develop a single control procedure to 65
ensure adequate powder mix and uniform content in finished products.
66
67
The methods described in this guidance are not intended to be the only methods for meeting
68
Agency requirements to demonstrate the adequacy of powder mix. Traditional powder blend 69
sampling and testing, in conjunction with testing for uniformity of content in the finished
product, can be used to comply with current good manufacturing practice requirements
70
2 The FDA withdrew the guidance for industry ANDAs: Blend Uniformity Analysis o n May 17, 2002.
3 PQRI is a collaborative body involving FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), industry, and
academia. Since its inception in January 1996, the mission of PQRI has been to generate scientific information in support of regulatory policies through research. Additional information about PQRI is available at https://www.wendangku.net/doc/687891266.html,.
4 The PQRI BUWG recommendation appeared on the public ACPS agenda on November 28, 2001 (introduction),
May 8, 2002 (distribution and comment), and October 22, 2002 (final comment).

71
(CGMPs). Use of at-, in-, or on-line measurement systems can also be appropriate and are
72
described in other guidance documents.6
73
74
This guidance provides recommendations on how to:
75
76
?Conduct powder blend sampling and analyses.
77
?Establish initial criteria for stratified sampling of in-process dosage units7 and evaluation 78
of test results.
79
?Analyze the stratified samples and evaluate data.
?Correlate the stratified sample data with the powder blend data.
80
81
?Assess powder mix uniformity.
?Correlate the stratified sample data with the finished dosage unit data and assess
82
83
uniformity of content.
?Test exhibit and validation batches for adequacy of powder mix.
84
85
?Test and evaluate routine manufacturing batches.
86
?Report the use of stratified sampling in the application.
87
88
The methods described in this guidance can be used to monitor active ingredient homogeneity of 89
powder blends and to ensure uniform content of the finished product for solid oral drug products. 90
These methods are only one way to satisfy the CGMP and application review requirements for 91
in-process testing to demonstrate adequacy of powder mix and uniform content of the finished 92
product. The method assumes appropriate monitoring of all manufacturing steps as required by 93
the regulations or application commitments. This guidance does not discuss the assessment of the potency and other attributes that can affect the finished dosage units, or the homogeneity of 94
95
inactive ingredients. Formulations with extremely low dose and/or high potency may call for
96
more rigorous sampling than that described in this guidance to assess the uniformity of powder 97
blends or the uniformity of content of the finished dosage units.
98
99
When using the methods described in this guidance, certain data or trends may be observed. We 100
recommend that manufacturers scientifically evaluate these types of research data to determine if they affect the quality of a product and, if so, how. The FDA does not intend to inspect research 101
102
data collected on an existing product for the purpose of evaluating the suitability of proposed
methods. Any FDA decision to inspect research data would be based on exceptional situations 103
6 In August 2003, the Agency issued the draft guidance for industry PAT – A Framework for Innovative
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Quality Assurance. Once finalized, it will represent the Agency's perspective on this issue.

packaged.
similar to those outlined in Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 130.300.8 Those data used to support 104
105
validation or regulatory submissions will be subject to inspection in the usual manner.
106
107
108
IV.CORRELATION OF IN-PROCESS STRATIFIED SAMPLING WITH POWDER 109
MIX AND FINISHED PRODUCT
110
111
If you plan to follow the procedures described in this guidance document, we recommend that 112
you first complete the process development procedures described in this section before using the methods described in sections V, VI, VII. The subsections below describe how to assess the 113
114
adequacy of powder mix, uniformity of content of the in-process and finished dosage units
through correlation and assessment of data from development, validation and manufacturing 115
116
batches. These procedures can reveal deficiencies in the blending operation that may not have 117
been previously detected. We recommend that manufacturers correct deficiencies in the
118
blending operation before implementing the routine manufacturing control methods described in 119
this guidance.
120
121
A.Assessment of Powder Mix Uniformity
122
123
We recommend the assessment of powder mix uniformity using the following procedures:
124
?Conduct blend analysis on batches by extensively sampling the mix in the blender and/or 125
126
intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
127
?Identify appropriate blending time and speed ranges, dead spots in blenders, and locations 128
of segregation in IBCs. Determine sampling errors.
129
?Define the effects of sample size (e.g., 1-10X dosage unit range) while developing a
130
technique capable of measuring the true uniformity of the blend. Sample quantities larger 131
than 3X can be used with adequate scientific justification. Appropriate blend sampling 132
techniques and procedures should be developed for each product with consideration to 133
various designs of blend powder sampling and the physical and chemical properties of 134
the blend components.
135
?Design blend-sampling plans and evaluate them using appropriate statistical analyses. 136
?Quantitatively measure any variability that is present among the samples. Attribute the 137
sample variability to either lack of uniformity of the blend or sampling error. Significant 138
within-location variance in the blend data can be an indication of one factor or a
combination of factors such as inadequacy of blend mix, sampling error9 or
139
8 FDA/ORA Compliance Policy Guide, Sec. 130.300, FDA Access to Results of Quality Assurance Program Audits
and Inspections (CPG7151.02)
9 If blend sampling error is detected, more sophisticated, statistical analyses should be applied to assess the situation,
such as the use of methods described in J Berman, DE Elinski, CR Gonzales, JD Hofer, PJ Jimenez, JA Planchard, RJ Tlachac, PF Vogel, “Blend Uniformity Analysis: Validation and In-Process Testing.” Technical Report No. 25, PDA J Pharm. Sci. Technol. 51(Suppl 3i-iii), S1-99, 1997.
140
agglomeration.10, 11 Significant between-location variance in the blend data can indicate
141
that the blending operation is inadequate.
142
143
B.Correlation of Powder Mix Uniformity with Stratified In-Process Dosage 144
Unit Data
145
146
We recommend the following steps for correlation:
147
?Conduct periodic sampling and testing of the in-process dosage units by sampling them at 148
149
defined intervals and locations throughout the compression or filling process. Use a
minimum of 20 appropriately spaced in-process dosage unit sampling points. There
150
151
should be at least 7 samples taken from each of these locations for a total minimum of at
152
least 140 samples.
153
?Take 7 samples from each additional location to further assess each significant event,12 154
such as filling or emptying of hoppers and IBCs, start and end of the compression or
155
filling process and equipment shutdown. This may be accomplished by using process
development batches, validation batches, or by using routine manufacturing batches for 156
157
approved products.
?Significant events may also include observations or changes from one batch to another 158
159
(e.g., batch scale-up and observations of undesirable trends in previous batch data).
160
? Prepare a summary of the data and analysis used to correlate the stratified sampling
161
locations with significant events in the blending process. We recommend you submit this
162
summary with the application as described in section VIII of this guidance.
163
?Compare the powder mix uniformity with the in-process dosage-unit data described above.
164
165
?Investigate any discrepancies observed between powder mix and dosage-unit data and establish root causes. At least one trouble-shooting guide is available that may be helpful 166
167
with this task.13 Possible corrections may range from going back to formulation
168
development to improve powder characteristics to process optimization. Sampling

problems may also be negated by use of alternate state-of-the-art methods of in situ real-169
170
time sampling and analysis.
171
C.Correlation of Stratified In-Process Samples with the Finished Product
172
173
174
We recommend the following steps:
175
176
?Conduct testing for uniform content of the finished product using an appropriate
177
procedure or as specified in the Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) or the New
Drug Application (NDA) for approved products.
178
179
?Compare the results of stratified in-process dosage unit analysis with uniform content of the finished dosage units from the previous step. This analysis should be done without 180
181
weight correction.14
182
?Prepare a summary of the data and analysis used to conclude that the stratified in-process 183
sampling provides assurance of uniform content of the finished product. We recommend
184
you submit this summary with the application as described in section VIII of this
guidance.
185
186
187
188
V.EXHIBIT/VALIDATATION BATCH POWDER MIX HOMOGENEITY
189
This section describes sampling and testing the powder mix of exhibit and process validation 190
191
batches used to support implementing the stratified sampling method described in this guidance.
192
193
194
We recommend that during the manufacture of exhibit and process validation batches, you assess
195
the uniformity of the powder blend, the in-process dosage units, and the finished product
196
independently. We recommend you use the following steps to identify sampling locations and
197
acceptance criteria prior to the manufacture of the exhibit and/or validation batches.15
198
199
1.Carefully identify at least 10 sampling locations in the blender to represent potential areas
200
of poor blending. For example, in tumbling blenders (such as V-blenders, double cones,
or drum mixers), samples should be selected from at least two depths along the axis of 201
202
the blender. For convective blenders (such as a ribbon blender), a special effort should
203
be made to implement uniform volumetric sampling to include the corners and discharge
204
area (at least 20 locations are recommended to adequately validate convective blenders).
205
206
2.Collect at least 3 replicate samples from each location. Samples should meet the
207
following criteria:
14 Weight correction is a mathematical correction to eliminate the effect of potentially variable tablet weight on
measurement of mix adequacy—see Glossary, Section IX.
15 This is described in Section IV of this guidance.
208
209
?Assay one sample per location (number of samples (n) ≥ 10)
210
(n = 20 for ribbon blender).
211
212
?RSD (relative standard deviation) of all individual results ≤ 5.0 percent.
213
214
?All individual results are within 10.0 percent (absolute) of the mean of the results. 215
216
If samples do not meet these criteria, we recommend that you investigate the failure according to 217
the flow chart in Attachment 1. We also recommend that you not proceed any further with 218
implementation of the methods described in this guidance until the criteria are met.
219
220
Sampling errors may occur in some powder blends, sampling devices, and techniques that make 221
it impractical to evaluate adequacy of mix using only the blend data. In such cases, we
222
recommend that you use in-process dosage unit data in conjunction with blend sample data to 223
evaluate blend uniformity.
224
225
Some powder blends may present unacceptable safety risk when directly sampled. The safety 226
risk, once described, may justify an alternate procedure. In such cases, process knowledge and 227
data from indirect sampling combined with additional in-process dosage unit data may be
228
adequate to demonstrate the adequacy of the powder mix. Data analysis used to justify using 229
these alternate procedures should be described in a summary report that is maintained at the 230
manufacturing facility.
231
232
As an alternative, you can substitute the procedures described in the PDA Technical Report No. 233
25, (see reference in footnote 8) to ensure that the blend is uniform and that the method meets or 234
exceeds the criteria described above.
235
236
237
VI.VERIFICATION OF MANUFACTURING CRITERIA
238
239
You should complete the assessment of powder mix uniformity and correlation of stratified in-240
process dosage unit sampling development procedures before establishing the criteria and
controls for routine manufacturing. We also recommend that you assess the normality and
241
242
determine RSD from the results of stratified in-process dosage unit sampling and testing that 243
were developed. The RSD value should be used to classify the testing results as either readily 244
pass (RSD ≤ 4.0%), marginally pass (RSD ≤ 6.0%) or inappropriate for demonstration of batch 245
homogeneity (RSD > 6.0%). The procedures are discussed in the following sections:
246
247
A.In-Process Dosage Unit Sampling and Analysis
248
249
We recommend the following steps:
250
?Carefully identify locations throughout the compression or filling operation to sample in-251
252
process dosage units. The sampling locations should also include significant process
events such as hopper changeover, filling or machine shutdown and the beginning and 253
254
end of the compression or filling operation.16 There should be at least 20 locations with 7 255
samples each for a minimum total of 140 samples. These include periodic sampling
256
locations and significant event locations.
257
?Sample at least 7 in-process dosage units from each sampling location.
258
?Assay at least 3 of the 7 and weight correct each result. (The number of samples should 259
be specified and justified for a given product and process.)
?Conduct an analysis of the dosage unit stratified sampling data to demonstrate that the 260
261
batch has a normal distribution of active ingredient. Indications of trends, bimodal
262
distributions, or other forms of a distribution other than normal should be investigated. If 263
these occurrences significantly affect your ability to ensure batch homogeneity, they
264
should be corrected.
?Prepare a summary of this analysis. Potential investigation results along with a
265
description of batch normality should be included in the summary. Submit this summary 266
267
with the application as described in section VIII of this guidance.
268
In addition to this analysis of batch normality, we recommend that you classify the test results as 269
270
readily pass or marginally pass according to the following procedure:
271
B.Criteria to Meet the Readily Pass Classification
272
273
274
For each separate batch, compare the test results to the following criteria:
275
276
?For all individual results (for each batch n ≥ 60) the RSD ≤ 4.0 percent.
277
?Each location mean is within 90.0 percent to110.0 percent of target strength.
278
279
280
?All individual results are within the range of 75.0 percent to 125.0 percent of target strength.
281
282
283
If your test results meet these criteria, they are classified as readily pass and you can start routine 284
batch testing using the Standard Verification Method (SVM) described in section VII. If your 285
test results fail to meet these criteria, we recommend that you compare the results with the
marginally pass criteria described below.
286
287
288
C.Criteria to Meet the Marginally Pass Classification
289
290
If your dosage unit test results fail to meet the criteria for the r eadily pass classification, you 291
should assay the remaining dosage units (all 7 units per location) and compare the test results to 292
the following criteria:
16 The beginning and end samples are taken from dosage units that would normally be included in the batch.
293
294
?For all individual results (for one batch n ≥ 140) the RSD ≤ 6.0 percent.
295
?Each location mean is within 90.0 percent to 110.0 percent of target strength.
296
297
298
?All individual results are within the range of 75.0 percent to 125.0 percent of target
299
strength.
300
301
If your test results meet these criteria, results can be classified as marginally pass. If your
samples do not meet these criteria, we recommend that you investigate the failure, find justified 302
303
and assignable cause(s), correct the deficiencies, and repeat the powder mix homogeneity
304
assessment, in-process dosage unit sampling correlation, and initial criteria establishment
305
procedures. The disposition of batches that have failed the m arginally pass criteria is outside the 306
scope of this guidance.
307
308
D.Sample Locations for Routine Manufacturing
309
310
We recommend that you prepare a summary of the data analysis from the powder mix
assessment and stratified sample testing. From the data analysis, you should establish the
311
312
stratified sample locations for routine manufacturing, taking into account significant process 313
events and their effect on in-process dosage unit and finished dosage unit quality attributes. You should identify at least 10 sampling locations during capsule filling or tablet compression to 314
315
represent the entire routine manufacturing batch.
316
317
318
VII. ROUTINE MANUFACTURING BATCH TESTING METHODS
319
We recommend that you evaluate the routine manufacturing batches against the following
320
321
criteria after completing the procedures described above to assess the adequacy of the powder 322
mix and uniform content in finished dosage form.
323
324
These routine manufacturing batch-testing methods include the Standard Criteria Method (SCM) 325
and the Marginal Criteria Method (MCM). The SCM consists of two stages, each with the same accept/reject criteria. The second of the two stages recommends using a larger sample size to 326
327
meet these criteria. The MCM uses accept/reject criteria that are different from the SCM.
328
329
If the batch data fail to conform to the SCM criteria, we recommend continued sampling and 330
testing to intensified criteria (MCM). Both verification methods and the procedures for
331
switching from one to the other are detailed below and in the flow chart in Attachment 2.
332
333
A.Standard Criteria Method (SCM)
334
335
We recommend using the SCM verification method when either of the following conditions is 336
met:
?Results of establishing initial criteria are classified as readily pass.
337
338
339
?Results of testing to the MCM pass the criteria for switching to the SCM (see section C 340
below).
341
342
The SCM should meet the same criteria using a different number of sample test results as
343
described below:
344
345
1.Stage 1 Test
346
347
To perform the stage 1 test, we recommend that you (1) collect at least 3 dosage units from each 348
sampling location, (2) assay 1 dosage unit from each location, (3) weight correct the results, and 349
(4) compare the results with the following criteria:
350
351
?RSD of all individual results (n ≥ 10) ≤ 5.0 percent.
352
353
?Mean of all results is 90.0 percent to 110.0 percent of target assay.
354
If the results pass these criteria and the adequacy of mix and uniformity of dosage unit content 355
356
for the batch are adequate, you can use the SCM for the next batch. If test results fail stage 1 357
criteria, you should conduct extended testing to stage 2 acceptance criteria.
358
359
2.Stage 2 Test
360
361
To perform the stage 2 test, we recommend that you assay the remaining two dosage units (from 362
stage 1) for each sampling location and compute the mean and RSD of data combined from both 363
stage 1 and stage 2. Compare the results with the following criteria:
364
365
?For all individual results (n ≥ 30) the RSD ≤ 5.0 percent.
366
367
?Mean of all results is 90.0 percent to 110.0 percent of target assay.
368
If your results pass these criteria, the adequacy of mix and uniformity of content for the batch are 369
370
adequate and you can use stage 1 of SCM for the next batch. If test results fail the criteria, use 371
the MCM described in the next section.
372
373
B.Marginal Criteria Method (MCM)
374
After powder mix assessment, in-process dosage unit stratified sampling correlation and initial 375
376
criteria establishment, we recommend that you use the MCM when either of the following
377
conditions is met:
378
379
?Results of initial criteria establishment qualified as marginally pass.
380
?Results of initial criteria establishment qualified as readily pass or a batch was tested 381
382
according to SCM and the test results failed both stage 1 and stage 2 criteria.
383
384
Then, we recommend you use the weight-corrected results from the stage 2 SCM analysis and 385
compare this with the MVM criteria:
386
387
?For all individual results (n ≥ 30) the RSD ≤ 6.0 percent.
388
389
?Mean of all results is 90.0 percent to 110.0 percent of target assay.
390
We recommend that all results from analysis of any remaining location samples be computed 391
392
with the stage 2 SCM data. No test results should be removed from the analysis. If the test
393
results pass these criteria, the adequacy of mix and uniformity of content for the batch are
394
adequate. We recommend that you continue to test routine manufacturing batches with MCM 395
criteria. If the test results fail the criteria, you should no longer use the verification testing
396
methods to ensure adequacy of mixing or uniformity of content until you investigate the failure 397
(per 21 CFR 211.192) to establish justified assignable cause(s), take necessary corrective actions 398
and repeat the powder mix assessment, stratified sample correlation, and initial criteria
establishment procedures.
399
400
401
C.Switching to Standard Test Method from Marginal Test Method
402
403
It is appropriate to switch to the SCM when the following criterion is met:
404
?Five consecutive batches pass the MCM criteria and result in RSD ≤ 5.0 percent

GLOSSARY
454
Absolute as used to define the acceptable range (+/- 10%) in which individual blend sample 455
456
values must fall and which is independent of the value of the mean. For example, if the mean of 457
all blend samples is 95.0%, the absolute range is 85.0% to105.0%, (not 95.0% +/- 9.5%).
458
Exhibit Batches refer to any batch submitted in support of an NDA or ANDA. This includes 459

In-process dosage unit is a capsule or tablet as it is formed in the manufacturing process before it is coated or packaged.
463
464
465
RSD is relative standard deviation; RSD = [(standard deviation)/(mean)] x 100%.
466
467
Significant event is any operation during solid dosage production process that can affect the 468
integrity of the in-process materials and, hence, their quality attributes. Transferring powder 469
from a blender to a bin or from the bin to a hopper are two examples of significant events in the blending and compression process.
470
471
472
Stratified sampling is the process of collecting a representative sample by selecting units
473
deliberately from various identified locations within a lot or batch, or from various phases or 474
periods of a process to obtain a sample dosage unit that specifically targets locations throughout 475
the compression/filling operation that have a higher risk of producing failing results in the
476
finished product uniformity of content.
477
478
Target assay is the intended strength or intended amount of active ingredient in the dosage unit. 479
480
Validation batch is a batch manufactured and tested to verify the proposed routine
481
manufacturing process controls are adequate.
482
483
Weight correct is a mathematical correction to eliminate the effect of potentially variable tablet weight on measurement of mix adequacy. For example, a tablet with a strength of 19.4 mg and 484
485
weight of 98 mg = 19.4 ÷ 98 = 0.198 mg/mg. Label claim is 20 mg per each 100 mg tablet, so 486
the weight corrected result is 0.198 ÷ 0.20 * 100 = 99% of target blend assay.

附件1 生物等效性研究的统计学指导原则 一、概述 生物等效性(Bioequivalence, BE)研究是比较受试制剂(T)与参比制剂(R)的吸收速度和吸收程度差异是否在可接受范围内的研究,可用于化学药物仿制药的上市申请,也可用于已上市药物的变更(如新增规格、新增剂型、新的给药途径)申请。 目前生物等效性研究通常推荐使用平均生物等效性(Average Bioequivalence, ABE)方法。平均生物等效性方法只比较药代动力学参数的平均水平,未考虑个体内变异及个体与制剂的交互作用引起的变异。在某些情况下,可能需要考虑其他分析方法。例如气雾剂的体外BE研究可采用群体生物等效性(Population Bioequivalence,PBE)方法,以评价制剂间药代动力学参数的平均水平及个体内变异是否等效。 本指导原则旨在为以药代动力学参数为终点评价指标的生物等效性研究的研究设计、数据分析和结果报告提供技术指导,是对生物等效性研究数据资料进行统计分析的一般原则。在开展生物等效性研究时,除参考本指导原则的内容外,尚应综合参考《以药动学参数为终点评价指标的化学药物仿制药人体生物等效性研究技术指导原则》和《药物临床试验的生物统计学指导原则》等相关指导原则。 二、研究设计 (一)总体设计考虑 生物等效性研究可采用交叉设计或者平行组设计。 —1 —
1.交叉设计 生物等效性研究一般建议采用交叉设计的方法。交叉设计的优势包括:可以有效减少个体间变异给试验评价带来的偏倚;在样本量相等的情况下,使用交叉设计比平行组设计具有更高的检验效能。 两制剂、两周期、两序列交叉设计是一种常见的交叉设计,见表1。 表1 两制剂、两周期、两序列交叉设计 序列 周期 1 2 1 T R 2 R T 如果需要准确估计某一制剂的个体内变异,可采用重复交叉设计。重复交叉设计包括部分重复(如两制剂、三周期、三序列)或者完全重复(如两制剂、四周期、两序列),见表2和表3。 表2 两制剂、三周期、三序列重复交叉设计 序列 周期 1 2 3 1 T R R 2 R T R 3 R R T —2 —
总局关于发布人体生物等效性试验豁免指导原则的通告(2016 年第87号) 2016年05月19日发布为规范仿制药质量和疗效一致性评价工作,根据《国务院办公厅关于开展仿制药质量和疗效一致性评价的意见》(国办发〔2016〕8号)的有关要求,国家食品药品监督管理总局组织制定了《人体生物等效性试验豁免指导原则》,现予发布。 特此通告。 附件:人体生物等效性试验豁免指导原则 食品药品监管总局 2016年5月18日附件 人体生物等效性试验豁免指导原则 本指导原则适用于仿制药质量和疗效一致性评价中口服固体常释制剂申请生物等效性(Bioequivalence)豁免。该指导原则是基于国际公认的生物药剂学分类系统(Biopharmaceutics Classification System,以下简称BCS)起草。
一、药物BCS分类 BCS系统是按照药物的水溶性和肠道渗透性对其进行分类的一个科学架构。当涉及到口服固体常释制剂中活性药物成分(Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient,以下简称API)在体内吸收速度和程度时,BCS系统主要考虑以下三个关键因素,即:药物溶解性(Solubility)、肠道渗透性(Intestinal permeability)和制剂溶出度(Dissolution)。 (一)溶解性 溶解性分类根据申请生物等效豁免制剂的最高剂量而界定。当单次给药的最高剂量对应的API在体积为250ml(或更少)、pH值在1.0—6.8范围内的水溶性介质中完全溶解,则可认为该药物为高溶解性。250ml的量来源于标准的生物等效性研究中受试者用于服药的一杯水的量。 (二)渗透性 渗透性分类与API在人体内的吸收程度间接相关(指吸收剂量的分数,而不是全身的生物利用度),与API在人体肠道膜间质量转移速率直接相关,或者也可以考虑其他可以用来预测药物在体内吸收程度的非人体系统(如使用原位动物、体外上皮细胞培养等方法)对渗透性进行分类。当一个口服药物采用质量平衡测定的结果或是相对于静脉注射的参照剂量,显示在体内的吸收程度≥85%以上(并且有证据证明药物在胃肠道稳定性良好),则可说明该药物具有高渗透性。 (三)溶出度
e m e a生物利用度和生物等效性研究指导原则问答 This model paper was revised by the Standardization Office on December 10, 2020
审评四部审评七室陈俊春高晨燕 EMEA自2002年对《生物利用度和生物等效性研究指导原则》(以下简称EMEA指导原则)修订后,于2006年7月发布了《生物利用度和生物等效性研究指导原则问答》(以下简称EMEA指导原则问答)对该原则的一些重要部分作出解释。以下就其问答全文结合我国的《化学人体生物利用度和生物等效性研究技术指导原则》(以下简称我国指导原则)与EMEA指导原则做一简介。 1.、生物等效判定时对Cmax的要求 EMEA指导原则的生物利用度等效评价要求Cmax比值的90%置信区间在–范围内。特殊情况下,如药物治疗窗窄,则可接受的区间范围应更窄。仅在特定情况下,才可接受更宽的区间范围,如-;而且该区间应事先确定,即在试验设计时应考虑到接受大于常规区间范围的情况,事后扩大原方案中确定的可接受区间的做法不可取;并应证明该范围对于病人更换时在安全和有效性方面的合理性。 EMEA指导原则在此提及的增加Cmax比值(非AUC)可接受区间范围的情况并不多见,并且仅扩大了一点,仍窄于我国指导原则中规定的范围-。扩大时仅限于以下情况:1)该药物安全性和有效性的PK/PD相关性资料足以显示Cmax可接受区间的扩大不会显着影响其临床药效。 2)如PK/PD资料不充分,临床安全性和有效性资料可以作为替代,但这些资料仅限于该研究药物。 3)药物在个体内的生物利用度具有高变异性。EMEA和我国的指导原则都对高变异性药物做了定义(即:个体内变异系数大于30%),但是要评价其个体内变异性需要设计重复试验。
精心整理附件3 以药动学参数为终点评价指标的 化学药物仿制药人体生物等效性研究 技术指导原则 体循环的过程,通常将受试制剂在机体内的暴露情况与参比制剂进行比较。 在上述定义的基础上,以药动学参数为终点评价指标的生物等效性研究又可表述为:通过测定可获得的生物基质(如血液、血浆、血清)中的药物浓度,取得药代动力学参数作为终点指标,藉此反映药物释放并被吸
收进入循环系统的速度和程度。通常采用药代动力学终点指标C max和AUC 进行评价。 如果血液、血浆、血清等生物基质中的目标物质难以测定,也可通过测定尿液中的药物浓度进行生物等效性研究。 药效动力学研究: 2)两 每位受试者依照随机顺序接受受试制剂和参比制剂。对于半衰期较长的药物,可选择第2种试验设计,即每个制剂分别在具有相似人口学特征的两组受试者中进行试验。第3种试验设计(重复试验设计)是前两种的备选方案,是指将同一制剂重复给予同一受试者,可设计为部分重复(单制剂重复,即三周期)或完全重复(两制剂均重复,即四周期)。重复试验设
计适用于部分高变异药物(个体内变异≥30%),优势在于可以入选较少数量的受试者进行试验。 对于高变异药物,可根据参比制剂的个体内变异,将等效性评价标准作适当比例的调整,但调整应有充分的依据。 (二)受试者选择 18 60岁 通常推荐采用单次给药药代动力学研究方法评价生物等效性,因为单次给药在评价药物释放的速度和程度方面比多次给药稳态药代研究的方法更敏感,更易发现制剂释药行为的差异。 (五)稳态研究 若出于安全性考虑,需入选正在进行药物治疗,且治疗不可间断的患
者时,可在多次给药达稳态后进行生物等效性研究。 (六)餐后生物等效性研究 食物与药物同服,可能影响药物的生物利用度,因此通常需进行餐后生物等效性研究来评价进食对受试制剂和参比制剂生物利用度影响的差异。 2小 推荐采用实测药物峰浓度C max评价吸收速度。药物浓度达峰时间T max 也是评价吸收速度的重要参考信息。 2.吸收程度/总暴露量 对于单次给药研究,建议采用如下两个参数评价吸收程度: (1)从0时到最后一个浓度可准确测定的样品采集时间t的药物浓
1、简介: 本指导原则用于指导临床研究主办单位、药物生产商、CRO公司、现场管理组织、临床监察机构和第三方独立组织管理生物利用度试验和生物等效性试验的样品。本指导原则的重点内容有:⑴BE和BA试验的测试样品和对照品是如何分发给试验机构的。⑵试验机构如何随机挑选测试样品和预留样品。⑶预留样品如何保管。(本指南参考法规21CFR 320.38 and 320.63,320.38 and 320.63) 2、背景: 由于80年代的通用药物丑闻,FDA在1990年11月8号发布了临时法规限制BE和BA样品的保存。颁布这项临时法规的目的是制止实验赞助商或药品生产机构在临床实验中进行可能的欺骗行为。1993年4月28日正式法规颁布。 在法规的序言中说明研究赞助商或药物生产机构不能在将产品分发到实验机构之前分出测试样品和对照品的保存样品。这样是为了保证保留样品能够代表申报批产品。生产商应该多寄几批测试样品和对照样品,以便研究机构可以随机挑选试验样品和保留样品。产品应该保存在生产商提供的包装内。 在法规的序言中还提到,对保留样品的保存是进行临床试验的组织的责任。目的是避免生产商将样品替换以欺骗FDA。 FDA的科学调查部门和ORA的领域研究者为生产商提供检查临床 试验地点和分析样品场所的服务。这些检察人员经常发现临床试验机构中保留样品的缺失。在很多案件中,检察人员发现临床机构将样品
退回生产商。在其他的案件中,生产商指定实验样品和对照品阻止研究机构从生产商从提供的样品中进行随机选样。检察人员还发现在等效性实验中临床端点经常与临床安全性研究和功效性研究相混淆。药效学或临床的等效性研究的端点通常很多,由内科医生或临床监察员使用它们的诊所或办公地点根据合同进行盲目的研究。更过分的事,一些临床研究者相信他们不是CRO公司所以不用保存样品。本原则明确了保留样品的责任方。 3、保留样品的技术: 我们要求临床试验机构从生产商提供的多批样品中随机挑选实验样品和对照品以保证样品具有代表性并且样品要存放在生产商提供的包装内。因为生产商可能会提供多个包装规格。FDA对于这个样品的代表性问题有着灵活的观点。例如,以下任何一种样品的保管技术都可以被研究机构应用。 单包装——如果生产商只提供了样品和对照品的单个包装,研究机构应该取出足够进行实验的样品和对照品,剩余的在原来的包装内进行保留。 多包装——如果生产商提供了样品和对照品的多个包装,研究机构可以随机挑选出足够进行实验的样品和对照品的包装形式,剩余的在原来的包装内进行保留。 一般来说,不赞同打开很多包装。我们希望研究机构限制作为研究留样的打开包装的数量。 剂量单位——如果生产商按照剂量单位提供了样品和对照品,研究机

生物利用度和生物等效性试验用药品的处理和保存要求 技术指导原则 一、引言 本指导原则旨在向药品注册申请人、合同研究组织(CRO)、研究机构管理组织(SMO)、临床试验机构和独立的第三方机构提供生物利用度(BA)和生物等效性(BE)试验用药品处理和保存方法的建议。本指导原则重点讨论以下内容:(1)用于BA和BE研究的试验用药品(包括受试制剂和参比制剂,下同)提供至药品临床试验机构(以下简称试验机构)的方法;(2)试验机构随机抽取用于临床研究的试验用药品和用于留存的试验用药品的方法;(3)留存试验用药品的保存方法。 二、背景 在以前的BA和BE试验中,存在的常见问题是实施研究的试验机构未对试验用药品进行留样保存,在多数情况下,试验机构将试验剩余样品全部返回给注册申请人。这种情况难以确保试验样品的真实性及可溯源性。为了保证试验样品的真实性及可溯源性,有必要规定试验机构在BA和BE试验中应当对试验样品进行留存。本指导原则对各方在试验用药品提供及留存样品保存方面所承担的职责进行了明确的阐述。 注册申请人在将试验用药品提供至试验机构之前,不得从试验用药品中分出留存样品,以确保留存样品是注册申请人提供给试验机构用于临床试验的同批产品。试验机构应从注册申请人提供的全部试验用样品中随机抽取进行临床试验药品和用于留存的样品。 本指导原则规定留存试验用药品是实施BA或BE的试验机构的职责,是为了消除注册申请人擅自更换留存样品的可能性。 三、抽样方法 注册申请人应将提供至试验机构的试验用药品(同批产品)进行适当包装,以便使试验机构可随机抽取用于临床研究的药品和留存样品,进而确保留存样品

附件3 以药动学参数为终点评价指标的 化学药物仿制药人体生物等效性研究 技术指导原则 一、概述 本指导原则主要阐述以药动学参数为终点评价指标的化学药物仿制药人体生物等效性试验的一般原则,适用于体内药物浓度能够准确测定并可用于生物等效性评价的口服及部分非口服给药制剂(如透皮吸收制剂、部分直肠给药和鼻腔给药的制剂等)。进行生物等效性试验时,除本指导原则外,尚应综合参考生物样品定量分析方法验证指导原则等相关指导原则开展试验。 生物等效性定义如下:在相似的试验条件下单次或多次给予相同剂量的试验药物后,受试制剂中药物的吸收速度和吸收程度与参比制剂的差异在可接受范围内。生物等效性研究方法按照研究方法评价效力,其优先顺序为药代动力学研究、药效动力学研究、临床研究和体外研究。 药代动力学(药动学)研究: 对于大多数药物而言,生物等效性研究着重考察药物自制剂释放进入体循环的过程,通常将受试制剂在机体内的暴露情况与参比制剂进行比较。 在上述定义的基础上,以药动学参数为终点评价指标的生物等
效性研究又可表述为:通过测定可获得的生物基质(如血液、血浆、血清)中的药物浓度,取得药代动力学参数作为终点指标,藉此反映药物释放并被吸收进入循环系统的速度和程度。通常采用药代动力学终点指标C max和AUC进行评价。 如果血液、血浆、血清等生物基质中的目标物质难以测定,也可通过测定尿液中的药物浓度进行生物等效性研究。 药效动力学研究: 在药动学研究方法不适用的情况下,可采用经过验证的药效动力学研究方法进行生物等效性研究。 临床研究: 当上述方法均不适用时,可采用以患者临床疗效为终点评价指标的临床研究方法验证等效性。 体外研究: 体外研究仅适用于特殊情况,例如在肠道内结合胆汁酸的药物等。对于进入循环系统起效的药物,不推荐采用体外研究的方法评价等效性。 二、基本要求 (一)研究总体设计 根据药物特点,可选用1)两制剂、单次给药、交叉试验设计;2)两制剂、单次给药、平行试验设计;3)重复试验设计。 对于一般药物,推荐选用第1种试验设计,纳入健康志愿者参与研究,每位受试者依照随机顺序接受受试制剂和参比制剂。对于

附录三药物制剂人体生物利用度和生物等效性试验指导原则生物利用度是指剂型中的药物被吸进入血液的速率和程度。生物等效性是指一种药物的不同制剂在相同的试验条件下,给以相同的剂量,反映其吸收速率和程度的主要动力学参数没有明显的统计学差异。 口服或其他非脉管内给药的制剂,其活性成分的吸收受多种因素的影响,包括制剂工艺、药物粒径、晶型或多晶型,处方中的赋形剂、黏合剂、崩解剂、润滑剂、包衣材料、溶剂、助悬剂等。生物利用度是保证药品内在质量的重要指标,而生物等效性则是保证含同一药物的不同制剂质量一致性的主要依据。生物利用度与生物等效性概念虽不完全相同,但试验方法基本一致。为了控制药品质量,保证药品的有效性和安全性,特制定本指导原则。何种药物制剂需要进行生物等效性或生物利用度试验,可根据有关部门颁布的法规要求进行。 进行药物制剂人体生物利用度和生物等效性试验的临床实验室和分析实验室,应提供机构名称以及医学、科学或分析负责人的姓名、职称和简历。 一、生物样品分析方法的基本要求 生物样品中药物及其代谢产物定量分析方法的专属性和灵敏度,是生物利用度和生物等效性试验成功的关键。首选色谱法,如HPLC、GC以及GC-MS、LC-MS、LC-MS-MS联用技术,一般应采用内标法定量。必要时也可采用生物学方法或生物化学方法。
由于生物样品取样量少、药物浓度低、内源性物质(如无机盐、脂质、蛋白质、代谢物)及个体差异等多种因素影响生物样品测定,所以必须根据待测物的结构、生物介质和预期的浓度范围,建立适宜的生物样品分析方法,并对方法进行验证。 1.专属性必须证明所测定的物质是原形药物或特定的活性代谢物,内源性物质和相应的代谢物不得干扰样品的测定。对于色谱法至少要提供空白生物样品色谱图、空白生物样品外加对照物质色谱图(注明浓度)及用药后的生物样品色谱图。对于复方制剂应特别加强专属性研究,以排除可能的干扰。对于LC-MS和LC-MS-MS方法,应着重考察基质效应。 2.标准曲线与线性范围根据所测定物质的浓度与响应的相关性,用回归分析方法获得标准曲线。标准曲线高低浓度范围为线性范围,在线性范围内浓度测定结果应达到试验要求的精密度和准确度。 必须用至少6个浓度建立标准曲线,应使用与待测样品相同的生物介质,线性范围要能覆盖全部待测浓度,不允许将线性范围外推求算未知样品的浓度。标准曲线不包括零点。 3.精密度与准确度要求选择3个浓度的质控样品同时进行方法的精密度和准确度考察。低浓度选择接近定量下限(LLOQ),在LLOQ的3倍以内;高浓度接近于标准曲线的上限;中间选一个浓度。每一浓度至少测定5个样品。 精密度用质控样品的日内和日间相对标准差(RSD)表示,RSD一般应小于15%,在LLOQ附近RSD应小于20%。 准确度是指用特定方法测得的生物样品浓度与真实浓度的接近程度,一般应在85%~115%范围内,在LLOQ附近应在80%~120%范围内。

附件3 仿制药质量一致性评价人体生物等效性研究 技术指导原则 一、概述 药物制剂要产生最佳疗效,其药物活性成分应当在预期时间段内释放吸收并被转运到作用部位达到预期的有效浓度。大多数药物是进入血液循环后产生全身治疗效果的,作用部位的药物浓度和血液中药物浓度存在一定的比例关系,因此可以通过测定血液循环中的药物浓度来获得反映药物体内吸收程度和速度的主要药代动力学参数,间接预测药物制剂的临床治疗效果,以评价制剂的质量。允许这种预测的前提是制剂中活性成分进入体内的行为是一致并且可重现的。 生物利用度(Bioavailability,BA)是反映药物活性成分吸收进入体内的程度和速度的指标。过去出现的一些由于制剂生物利用度不同而导致的不良事件,使人们认识到确有必要对制剂中活性成分生物利用度的一致性或可重现性进行验证,尤其是在含有相同活性成分的仿制产品要替代它的原研制剂进入临床使用的时候。鉴于药物浓度和治疗效果相关,假设在同一受试者,相同的血药浓度-时间曲线意味着在作用部位能达到相同的药物浓度,并产生相同的疗效,那么就可以药代动力学参数作为替代的终点指标来建立等效性,即生物等效性(Bioequivalence, BE)。 BA和BE研究已经成为评价制剂质量的重要手段。本指导原则将重点阐述BA和BE研究的相关概念、应用范围和BA和BE研究的设计、操作和评价等。 本指导原则主要是针对化学药品普通固体口服制剂质量一致性评价的人体生物等效性研究。因为在具体应用过程中有可能面临多种情况,对于一些特殊问题,仍应遵循具体问题具体分析的原则。 二、BA和BE基本概念及应用
1.生物利用度:是指药物活性成分从制剂释放吸收进入全身循环的程度和速度。一般分为绝对生物利用度和相对生物利用度。绝对生物利用度是以静脉制剂(通常认为静脉制剂生物利用度为100%)为参比制剂获得的药物活性成分吸收进入体内循环的相对量;相对生物利用度则是以其他非静脉途径给药的制剂(如片剂和口服溶液)为参比制剂获得的药物活性成分吸收进入体循环的相对量。 2.生物等效性:是指药学等效制剂或可替换药物在相同试验条件下,服用相同剂量,其活性成分吸收程度和速度的差异无统计学意义。通常意义的BE研究是指用BA研究方法,以药代动力学参数为终点指标,根据预先确定的等效标准和限度进行的比较研究。在药代动力学方法确实不可行时, 也可以考虑以临床综合疗效、药效学指标或体外试验指标等进行比较性研究,但需充分证实所采用的方法具有科学性和可行性。 了解以下几个概念将有助于理解 BA和BE: 原研药(Innovator Product):是指已经过全面的药学、药理学和毒理学研究以及临床研究数据证实其安全有效性并首次被批准上市的药品。药学等效性(Pharmaceutical equivalence):如果两制剂含等量的相同活性成分,具有相同的剂型,符合同样的或可比较的质量标准,则可以认为它们是药学等效的。药学等效不一定意味着生物等效,因为辅料的不同或生产工艺差异等可能会导致药物溶出或吸收行为的改变。治疗等效性(Therapeutic equivalence):如果两制剂含有相同活性成分,并且临床上显示具有相同的安全性和有效性,可以认为两制剂具有治疗等效性。如果两制剂中所用辅料本身并不会导致有效性和安全性问题,生物等效性研究是证实两制剂治疗等效性最合适的办法。如果药物吸收速度与临床疗效无关,吸收程度相同但吸收速度不同的药物也可能达到治疗等效。而含有相同的活性成分只是活性成分化学形式不同(如某一化合物的盐、酯等)或剂型不同(如片剂和胶囊剂)的药物制剂也可能治疗等效。 基本相似药物(Essentially similar product):如果两个制剂具有等量且符合同一质量标准的药物活性成分,具有相同剂型,并且经过证明具有生物等效性,则两个制剂可以认为是基
以药动学参数为终点评价指标的 化学药物仿制药人体生物等效性研究 技术指导原则 一、概述 本指导原则主要阐述以药动学参数为终点评价指标的化学药物仿制药人体生物等效性试验的一般原则,适用于体内药物浓度能够准确测定并可用于生物等效性评价的口服及部分非口服给药制剂(如透皮吸收制剂、部分直肠给药和鼻腔给药的制剂等)。进行生物等效性试验时,除本指导原则外,尚应综合参考生物样品定量分析方法验证指导原则等相关指导原则开展试验。 生物等效性定义如下:在相似的试验条件下单次或多次给予相同剂量的试验药物后,受试制剂中药物的吸收速度和吸收程度与参比制剂的差异在可接受范围内。生物等效性研究方法按照研究方法评价效力,其优先顺序为药代动力学研究、药效动力学研究、临床研究和体外研究。 药代动力学(药动学)研究: 对于大多数药物而言,生物等效性研究着重考察药物自制剂释放进入体循环的过程,通常将受试制剂在机体内的暴露情况与参比制剂进行比较。
在上述定义的基础上,以药动学参数为终点评价指标的生物等效性研究又可表述为:通过测定可获得的生物基质(如血液、血浆、血清)中的药物浓度,取得药代动力学参数作为终点指标,藉此反映药物释放并被吸收进入循环系统的速度和程度。通常采用药代动力学终点指标C max和AUC进行评价。 如果血液、血浆、血清等生物基质中的目标物质难以测定,也可通过测定尿液中的药物浓度进行生物等效性研究。 药效动力学研究: 在药动学研究方法不适用的情况下,可采用经过验证的药效动力学研究方法进行生物等效性研究。 临床研究: 当上述方法均不适用时,可采用以患者临床疗效为终点评价指标的临床研究方法验证等效性。 体外研究: 体外研究仅适用于特殊情况,例如在肠道内结合胆汁酸的药物等。对于进入循环系统起效的药物,不推荐采用体外研究的方法评价等效性。 二、基本要求 (一)研究总体设计 根据药物特点,可选用1)两制剂、单次给药、交叉试验设计;2)两制剂、单次给药、平行试验设计;3)重复试验设计。 对于一般药物,推荐选用第1种试验设计,纳入健康志愿
生物等效性试验 生物等效性试验是指用生物利用度研究的方法,以药代动力学参数为指标,比较同一种药物的相同或者不同剂型的制剂,在相同的试验条件下,其活性成分吸收程度和速度有无统计学差异的人体试验。 生物等效性试验在药物研究开发的不同阶段,其作用可能稍有差别,但究其根本,生物等效性试验的目的都是通过测定血药浓度的方法,来比较不同的制剂对药物吸收的影响,以及药物不同制剂之间的差异,以此来推测其临床治疗效果差异的可接受性,即不同制剂之间的可替换性。 按照《药品注册管理办法》的要求,属于化学药品注册分类5、注册分类6的口服固体制剂需要进行生物等效性研究。

人体生物等效性试验豁 免指导原则 集团文件版本号:(M928-T898-M248-WU2669-I2896-DQ586-M1988)
附件 人体生物等效性试验豁免指导原则本指导原则适用于仿制药质量和疗效一致性评价中口服固体常释制剂申请生物等效性(Bioequivalence)豁免。该指导原则是基于国际公认的生物药剂学分类系统(Biopharmaceutics Classification System,以下简称BCS)起草。 一、药物BCS分类 BCS系统是按照药物的水溶性和肠道渗透性对其进行分类的一个科学架构。当涉及到口服固体常释制剂中活性药物成分(Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient,以下简称API)在体内吸收速度和程度时,BCS系统主要考虑以下三个关键因素,即:药物溶解性(Solubility)、肠道渗透性(Intestinal permeability)和制剂溶出度(Dissolution)。 (一)溶解性 溶解性分类根据申请生物等效豁免制剂的最高剂量而界定。当单次给药的最高剂量对应的API在体积为250ml(或更少)、pH值在1.0—6.8范围内的水溶性介质中完全溶解,则可认为该药物为高溶解性。250ml的量来源于标准的生物等效性研究中受试者用于服药的一杯水的量。 (二)渗透性 渗透性分类与API在人体内的吸收程度间接相关(指吸收剂量的分数,而不是全身的生物利用度),与API在人体肠道膜间质量转移速率直接相关,或者也可以考虑其他可以用来预测药物在体内吸收程度的非人体系统(如使用原位动物、体外上皮细胞培养等方法)对渗透性进行分类。当一个口服药物采用质量平衡测定的结果或是相对于静脉注射的参照剂量,显示在体内的吸收程度

序言 本指导原则为仿制药生物等效性实验(以下简称“实验”)实施办法的基本原则。实验的目的是为保证仿制制剂具有与原研制剂相同的临床治疗效果,实验常常采用两制剂生物利用度(以下简称“实验”)的比较测定来进行。如实验难以进行或测定结果与药品临床治疗指标相关性不大时,原则上可采用通过比较临床上的主要治疗指标来评价。另外,对于口服固体制剂,由于体外溶出实验提供了与实验相关的重要信息,所以实施溶出实验。 第章专业用语 本原则中使用的专业用语具有以下含义: 生物利用度:有效成分未变化态药物或药物活性代谢产物进入到体循环的速度与量。 生物学等效性制剂:生物利用度相同的制剂。 治疗学等效性制剂:具有相同治疗效果的制剂。 原研制剂:获得新药认可的药品或同级别的制剂。 仿制制剂:与原研制剂的主成分、含量和剂型均相同、且在用法用量上也一致的制剂。 第章实验部分 .口服普通制剂与肠溶制剂 参比制剂与实验制剂 原则上取原研制剂批,在如下的溶出介质①或②中,按照本文第章,. .项下的方法进行溶出实验(仅限于桨法,转,个单位以上的样品),选取中间那条溶出曲线的批次作为参比制剂样品。如果批次样品在溶出介质①或②中,均达到
