Overview of Dossier Requirements and Guidelines
Generic Products
Muhammad Ali 10

Generic Guide: Definitions
Muhammad Ali 11
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
A substance or compound that is intended to be used in the manufacture of a
pharmaceutical product as a therapeutically active compound (ingredient)
Pharmaceutical Product
Any preparation for human or veterinary use that is intended to modify or explore
physiological systems or pathological states for the benefit of the recipient.
Finished Pharmaceutical Product (FPP)
A product that has undergone all stages of production, including packaging in its final
container and labelling.

Multisource (Generic) product
Multisources are Pharmaceutically equivalent (WHO definition)
• same amount of the same API
• same dosage form
• meet the same or comparable standards
• intended to be administered by the same route
Multisources which are therapeutically equivalent are interchangeable
Muhammad Ali 12

Quality of a Generic product
Multisource products must be of good quality and at least as safe and efficacious as
existing products (WHO Manual, Blue Book, P. 29, chapter H., Interchangeability)
Muhammad Ali 13
Demonstration of pharmaceutical equivalence of the FPP including that of the API
Same Safety –
Same efficacy
Equal quality with the
comparator or a quality shown and
assessed to be as acceptable

PREPARING & ORGANIZATION OF CTD
It is organized into:-
• Module 1: General Information
• Module 2: Summary (Quality, Non clinical , Clinical)
• Module 3: Quality
• Module 4: Nonclinical study reports (Not Applicable for Generic product)
• Module 5: Clinical study reports (Not Applicable for Generic product some
exception may allow)
14Muhammad Ali

21Muhammad Ali

MODULE 5
The majority of PDs for multisource products are supported by one or more pivotal
comparative bioavailability studies. When filing a PD in the CTD format, it is
anticipated that only the following relevant sections of Module 5 will normally be
required.
22Muhammad Ali

MODULE 5… Cont’
Module 5: Clinical study reports
• 5.1 Table of contents for Module 5
• 5.2 Tabular listing of all clinical studies
• 5.3 Clinical study reports
• 5.3.1 Reports of biopharmaceutic studies
5.3.1.2 Comparative bioavailability and bioequivalence study reports
5.3.1.3 In vitro-in vivo correlation study reports if available
*5.3.1.4 Reports of bioanalytical and analytical method for human studies
23Muhammad Ali

MODULE 5… Cont’
• 5.3.7 Case report forms and individual patient listings: Only CRFs for subjects that
experienced serious adverse events should be included. All CRFs should be
available upon request.
• 5.4 Literature references
* Bioanalytical or analytical methods for BA/BE or in vitro dissolution studies should
ordinarily be provided in the individual clinical study reports. However, where a method is used in
multiple studies, the method and its validation should only be included once in section 5.3.1.4 and
referenced in the appropriate individual clinical study reports.
For guidance regarding biowaivers, refer to the biowaiver implementation documents
available on the Prequalification website. For guidance regarding comparator
products, refer to the information available under
