Abstract
Orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDPs) are complex due to the interplay between the device, formulation, and patient characteristics. Establishing bioequivalence (BE) of OINDPs with reference is highly complex and require in vitro, in vivo pharmacokinetic and comparative clinical endpoint studies that are challenging to conduct. In order to increase the rate of submission and approval of generics, regulatory agencies are encouraging the use of alternative in vitro and in silico methodologies to replace complex in vivo studies. The present review attempts to summarize current understanding of alternative BE approaches for OINDPs. In vitro characterization studies required for establishing BE for OINDPs considering USFDA and EMA guidance's are detailed. In silico methods such as pulmonary compartmental transit and absorption (PCAT) with emphasis on model input parameters are portrayed. Further, two detailed case studies of inhalation nebulizer and nasal spray formulations are described where PCAT models are developed for predicting BE and local concentrations. Lastly, current understanding of such BE approaches from regulatory perspectives are discussed summarizing recent regulatory workshops and through collation of USFDA product specific guidance's for almost 70 drug products. Overall, this manuscript can act as ready-to-use guide to understand alternative approaches for establishing BE for OINDPs.
由于设备、配方和患者特征之间的相互作用,口鼻吸入药物产品(OINDPs)非常复杂。建立口鼻吸入药物与参照物的生物等效性(BE)非常复杂,需要进行体外、体内药代动力学和临床终点比较研究,而这些研究的开展具有挑战性。为了提高仿制药的申报和批准率,监管机构正在鼓励使用其他体外和硅学方法来取代复杂的体内研究。本综述试图总结目前对 OINDPs 替代 BE 方法的理解。根据 USFDA 和 EMA 指南,详细介绍了为确定 OINDP 的生物安全性所需的体外表征研究。此外,还介绍了以模型输入参数为重点的肺分区转运和吸收(PCAT)等硅学方法。此外,还介绍了吸入雾化剂和鼻腔喷雾制剂的两个详细案例研究,其中 PCAT 模型用于预测 BE 和局部浓度。最后,从监管角度讨论了目前对此类 BE 方法的理解,总结了近期的监管研讨会,并整理了美国食品药物管理局针对近 70 种药物产品的具体产品指南。总之,本手稿可作为随时使用的指南,帮助您了解建立 OINDPs BE 的其他方法。
