Complex Drug-Device Generic Combination Products Meeting

Session 2: Bioequivalence Considerations for Complex Generic Inhalation, Nasal, and Auto-Injector Drug-Device Combination Products

Session Chair(s)

Kimberly A. Witzmann, MD

Kimberly A. Witzmann, MD

Acting Deputy Director, Office of Bioequivalence, Office of Generic Drugs, CDER, FDA, United States

This session will present an overview of complex orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDPs) as well as complex auto-injector drug-device combination products. We will discuss the current recommendations for establishing bioequivalence as described in product-specific guidances (PSGs), the remaining scientific questions and challenges, and how new tools and innovations can help to inform product development and support the regulatory assessment process, with the goal of increasing access to safe, affordable generic drugs for the American public.

Learning Objective :
  • Understand the weight of evidence approach to establish equivalence for complex generic OINDPs, and how FDA evaluates potential alternative methodologies to support ANDA submissions.
  • Describe scientific challenges for developing a complex generic drug-device product, and recognize how these impact ANDA reviews
  • Integrate research findings on complex product performance into a comprehensive approach for regulatory decision-making, PSG development, and ANDA assessments
  • Speaker(s)
