5. COMPARATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY:
When the systemic availability of a drug after oral
administration is compared with that of an oral standard of
the same drug

7. 7
Determination of influence of excipients, patient related
factors and possible interactions.
Development of new formulation of existing drug.
Control of quality of drug product during early stages of
marketing .
Comparison of availability of a drug substance from
different dosage forms or from the same dosage form
produced by different manufacturers.
12. STUDY DESIGNS
Selection of study design is based upon .
Number of formulations to be compared.
Characteristics of the drug and disposition.
Study objective.
Availability of the subject.
Inter and intra subject variability.
Duration of study or the number of periods allowed.
Cost of adding a subject relative to that of
adding one period.
12
13. BIOAVAILABILITY STUDIES
1. Parallel design
2. Cross over design
i. Latin square cross over design
ii. Balanced incomplete block
design
iii .Replicated cross over design

18. GENERAL APPROACHES FOR SINGLE
DOSE STUDY
Generally the highest marketed strength should
be administered as a single unit.
If necessary for analytical reasons multiple units
of highest strength can be administered.
Providing the total single dose remains within
the labelled range.
18
19. The lot numbers of both test and reference listed.
Expiration date for the reference product should be
stated.
The drug content of the test product shouldn’t
differ from reference product by more than 5%.
An adequate washout period should (more than
5half life) separate each treatment.
19
20. Prior and during each study phase
Subjects should be allowed water as desired
except for 1hr before .
After drug admn; be provided standard meals
not less than 4hrs.
Abstain from alcohol for 24hrs prior to each
study period and until after the last sample from
each period is collected.
20
21. MULTIPLE DOSE
Very potent or toxic drugs
Single dose study cannot be conducted in healthy
volunteers – tolerability reasons
Multiple dose study can be used
21
22. In rare situations problems of sensitivity of the analytical
method sufficiently precise plasma concentration
measurements after single dose administration.
Where the con at steady state is sufficiently high to
measure.
Multiple dose study - alternative
22
24. Problems in plasma concentration measurement after
single dose .
Intra individual variability in the plasma
concentration or disposition rate is inherently large.
In the case of extended release formulations (in
addition to single dose studies).
24
25. If special dosage regimens such as
loading dose or twice a day dosing
are to be used.
Differences in rate of absorption but
not in the extent of absorption
Eg : Rivastigmine tartarate(oral
cap), Quatiapine fumerate(oral tab)
25
28. DISADVANTAGES
SINGLE DOSE
Cannot predict steady
state predictions.
Inter subject variability
cannot be predicted.
Long sampling periods.
MULTIDOSE
Tedious
Costly and difficult to
conduct.
Poor compliance by
subjects .
More exposure to test
drugs hence potential for
ADR.
