Quality
Quality
The suitability of either a drug substance or drug product for
its intended use. This term includes such attributes as the
identity, strength, and purity.
-ICH Q6A ,ICH Q8
Quality objective
The holder of a manufacturing authorization must manufacture
medicinal products so as to ensure their products:
1.Fit for their intended use, comply with the requirements of
the marketing authorization
2. Do not place patients at risk due to inadequate safety,
quality or efficacy

Bioequivalence
IND/NDAs
Establish links between
(1) Early and late clinical trial formulations
(2) Formulations used in clinical trial and stability studies, if
different
(3) Clinical trial formulations and to-be-marketed drug product;
and
(4) Other comparisons, as appropriate.
ANDAs
BE is a primary element in the determination of therapeutic
equivalence BE, together with the determination of PE allows a
regulatory conclusion of therapeutic equivalence
16
Therapeutic Equivalence
Pharmaceutical equivalence (PE)
Bioequivalence (BE)
Proper labeling
CMC/cGMP/GLP/GCP
FDA deemed two products therapeutic
equivalence-PE+BE+ proper labeling
+CMC/cGMP /GLP-GCP
17
BE Requirement
Product Quality and in vivo Performance
BE study is required once therapeutic outcome
demonstrated
BE is required whenever changes are significant
enough so that they lead to questions of product
quality/performance or therapeutic outcome
 Pre-approval
—Pilot formulation vs pivotal clinical formulation
—Pivotal clinical formulation vs final market formulation
—Generic product vs RLD
 Significant post-approval changes
BE requirement should be applied to both the brand
name and the generic products
18
Regulatory requirement on BE studies
Regulations
 Guideline of Bioavailability and Bioequivalence studies
(1987)
 Regulations of BA/BE Studies (2009)
Drug Application
 New drugs
 Generic drugs
—Since 1983
—Retrospectively request BE studies for drugs approved before
1983 with BE concern
e.g., Diltiazem 、Glyburide、Furosemide、Isosorbide dinitrate、Atenolol、
Nifedipine、Rifampin、Digoxin、Carbamazepine

Regulation on post approval changes
Types of Post-approval Changes
 Scale of manufacturing, Manufacturing process, equipment,
site, manufacturer, etc.
 Particle size, crystalline form, polymorphs, in-process,
controls, product release specification, etc.
 Synthetic procedures, source of API and excipients,
supplier, etc.
Regulation Requirement
Scale-Up and Post Approval Changes (SUPAC) (2001 public Announcement )
 For products that have passed the BE testing and registered
for marketing, any changes, depending on the level and
extent of change are required to submit Bioequivalence
testing report or Dissolution Rate Profile to assure and
verify its quality.
22
Post-approval commitment
Surveillance on Safety and Efficacy
 Post-marketing Surveillance, Phase-IV trial
 ADR/quality defect reporting and investigation
 REMS/RMP
Maintenance for Drug Quality-Life Cycle
Management
 Well controlled process and quality system
— batch to batch release
 On-going stability protocol
 Post-approval changes, annual report
 Inspection

Therapeutic Inequivalence Reporting
in Taiwan
Establishing" Drug Therapeutic Inequivalence Reporting System
in Taiwan“ since 2009
Establishing committee for identification and evaluation of
reports
Summarizing 70 reports from 2009 to 2010
 One brand name drug (thyroxin):
— Formulation and manufacturing site changed
— Following a switch, unexpected AE (allergy) occurred in
patients
— TFDA investigation and ongoing review
 One injectable drug(iron sucrose complex)
— AE (allergy) occurred in patients
— Suspect difference in structure and particle size
 Others: poor data (ex insufficient information, lack of lab
28
data) or single case
Therapeutic Inequivalence Reporting
in US FDA
Therapeutic Inequivalence Action Coordinating
Committee (TIACC) in CDER to evaluate these reports
For example: Bupropion(Antidepressant)
Brand name drug (Wellbutrin XL 300 mg) vs.generic drug (Budeprion XL 300 mg)
 In 2007, FDA received 85 AE reports following a switch
 US FDA's evaluation and conclusion
—The generic form of bupropion bioequivalent and
therapeutically equivalent to the brand name drug
—The number of AE reports following a switch
were fewer than the drug and placebo groups in
clinical trials
—Natural history of disease:The AE may occur
throughout the course of the therapy, even patients
on a stable dose of medicine or receiving placebo.
