Abstract
The ICH M10 guideline establishes global standards for bioanalytical method validation for pharmacokinetic assays, focusing on data reliability and accuracy across studies. A significant component is cross-validation, which should be performed to ensure data comparability when multiple methods or laboratories are involved in a single study or across studies where comparison will be performed. However, ICH M10 does not specify acceptance criteria for cross-validation, creating challenges for the industry because traditionally many laboratories have always utilized acceptance criteria to "pass" or "fail" the study. This editorial discusses how bioanalytical labs should conduct cross-validation for PK assays post-ICH M10, highlighting the role of statistical methods and the need for close collaboration with clinical pharmacology and biostatistics departments. Proper implementation and strategic focus on relevant studies are essential for effective cross-validation.

期刊介绍:
Reliable data obtained from selective, sensitive and reproducible analysis of xenobiotics and biotics in biological samples is a fundamental and crucial part of every successful drug development program. The same principles can also apply to many other areas of research such as forensic science, toxicology and sports doping testing.
The bioanalytical field incorporates sophisticated techniques linking sample preparation and advanced separations with MS and NMR detection systems, automation and robotics. Standards set by regulatory bodies regarding method development and validation increasingly define the boundaries between speed and quality.
Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing.
The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques.
Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.
