Sessions and Tracks

Track 01: Fundamentals of Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Studies

The fundamentals of bioavailability and bioequivalence studies lie in understanding how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted within the body. Bioavailability refers to the rate and extent to which a drug reaches systemic circulation, whereas bioequivalence compares the pharmacokinetic parameters of a test drug to that of a reference drug. These studies are crucial in pharmaceutical development to ensure the safety, efficacy, and interchangeability of generic drugs with their brand-name counterparts.

Track 02: Pharmacokinetic Parameters and Analysis

Pharmacokinetic parameters and analysis involve the quantitative study of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body over time. Key parameters include absorption rate constants, maximum plasma concentrations, area under the curve, volume of distribution, and clearance rates. These parameters provide valuable insights into the drug's bioavailability, bioequivalence, and overall pharmacological profile, aiding in drug development, dosing optimization, and therapeutic monitoring.

Track 03: In Vitro-In Vivo Correlation

IVIVC, or In Vitro-In Vivo Correlation, is a scientific approach used in pharmaceutical development to establish a relationship between in vitro drug release profiles and in vivo pharmacokinetic behavior. By correlating the performance of a drug product in vitro with its behavior in vivo, IVIVC can provide insights into the factors influencing drug absorption and predict in vivo performance based on in vitro data. This correlation aids in formulation optimization, dosage form selection, and biowaiver justifications, ultimately streamlining the drug development process. IVIVC is particularly valuable in ensuring consistent drug release and bioavailability, enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drug development efforts.

Track 04: Biowaivers

Biowaivers are regulatory exemptions granted for certain bioequivalence studies, allowing for the approval of generic drugs without conducting comparative clinical trials. They are typically based on the demonstration of similarity in the rate and extent of drug absorption between the generic and reference products using in vitro dissolution testing or other surrogate measures. Biowaivers are granted when the drug's pharmacokinetics are well understood, and there is a high likelihood of therapeutic equivalence, saving time and resources in drug development while maintaining patient safety and efficacy.

Track 05: Biosimilars

Biosimilars are biological products highly similar to an approved reference biologic, with no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity, and potency. Unlike generic drugs, biosimilars are not exact copies due to the complex nature of biological molecules and manufacturing processes.

Track 06: Formulation Factors Influencing Bioavailability

Formulation factors influencing bioavailability encompass the design and composition of drug formulations, including dosage forms and excipients. Factors such as particle size, solubility, and stability influence drug dissolution and absorption rates. Additionally, the choice of excipients, such as fillers, binders, and surfactants, can impact drug release and gastrointestinal absorption. Optimizing these formulation parameters is essential to enhance drug bioavailability, ensuring consistent therapeutic outcomes and patient adherence to treatment regimens.

Track 07: Food-Drug Interactions in Bioequivalence

Food-drug interactions can significantly impact drug absorption and bioequivalence assessments. Food intake can alter gastric pH, transit time, and enzyme activity, affecting drug dissolution and absorption rates. Consequently, bioavailability may vary between fed and fasting states, leading to potential discrepancies in bioequivalence study results. Understanding and controlling these interactions are crucial to ensure the reliability and reproducibility of bioequivalence data for regulatory approval of generic medication.

Track 08: Pediatric and Geriatric Bioequivalence

Pediatric and geriatric bioequivalence studies assess the similarity in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion between younger and older populations, respectively, and the adult reference population. These studies are essential due to age-related physiological differences that can influence drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

Track 09: Bioequivalence Study Designs and Methodologies

Bioequivalence study designs and methodologies encompass various approaches to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of generic and reference drugs. These may include single-dose or multiple-dose studies, using cross-over or parallel-group designs, with appropriate sample sizes and randomization techniques.

Track 10: Analytical Techniques in Bioequivalence Assessment

Analytical techniques in bioequivalence assessment involve methods for accurately quantifying drug concentrations in biological samples. These techniques include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), and immunoassays. Validation of these methods is crucial to ensure accuracy, precision, specificity, and robustness.

Track 11: Bioequivalence of Generic Drugs and Biosimilars

Bioequivalence of generic drugs and biosimilars refers to demonstrating comparable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties to their respective reference products. For generic drugs, this involves proving similarity in rate and extent of drug absorption, typically through comparative bioavailability studies

Track 12: Bioequivalence of Narrow Therapeutic Index Drugs

Bioequivalence studies for narrow therapeutic index (NTI) drugs focus on demonstrating equivalence in drug absorption, distribution, and elimination to ensure consistent therapeutic outcomes. NTI drugs have a narrow margin between efficacy and toxicity, making precise dosing critical. These studies require stringent bioanalytical methods and statistical analyses to assess bioequivalence within narrow confidence intervals.

Track 13: Bioavailability Enhancement Strategies

Bioavailability enhancement strategies aim to improve the rate and extent of drug absorption, thereby increasing the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of medications. These strategies encompass various approaches, including formulation optimization, such as using lipid-based or nanoparticulate delivery systems, to enhance drug solubility and dissolution

Track 14: Biowaivers and Regulatory Exemptions

Biowaivers are regulatory exemptions granted for certain bioequivalence studies, allowing for the approval of generic drugs without conducting comparative clinical trials. These waivers are based on the demonstration of similarity in drug absorption between the generic and reference products using in vitro dissolution testing or other surrogate measures. Biowaivers streamline the drug approval process, saving time and resources while maintaining confidence in the equivalence of generic medications, particularly for well-understood drugs with predictable pharmacokinetics.

Track 15: Drug Transporters and Bioequivalence

Drug transporters play a crucial role in drug absorption, distribution, and elimination, influencing bioavailability and bioequivalence assessments. They facilitate the movement of drugs across biological membranes, impacting drug absorption rates and tissue distribution. Variability in transporter expression and activity can lead to differences in drug pharmacokinetics between individuals, affecting bioequivalence outcomes.

Track 16: Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine

Pharmacogenomics explores how genetic variations influence an individual's response to drugs, guiding personalized medicine approaches. By analyzing genetic markers, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), clinicians can predict drug efficacy, toxicity, and optimal dosage regimens.
