Webinar: FDA drafts guidance on statistical approaches to establishing bioequivalence

2023/03/13  US FDA

Date: March 14, 2023
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
In December 2022, FDA issued a draft guidance for industry entitled Statistical Approaches to Establishing Bioequivalence, which provides recommendations to sponsors and applicants who intend to use equivalence criteria in analyzing in vivo or in vitro bioequivalence (BE) studies for investigational new drugs (INDs), new drug applications (NDAs), abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), and supplements to these applications. This guidance discusses statistical approaches for BE comparisons and focuses on how to use these approaches generally and in specific situations. When finalized, this guidance will replace the February 2001 FDA guidance for industry “Statistical Approaches to Establishing Bioequivalence” and will represent FDA’s current thinking on this topic.

This webinar will take a deeper look into the draft guidance for new and revised content and provide clarification to comments received through the public docket.
