12^th World Congress on Bioavailability & Bioequivalence October 14-15, 2020 Cape Town, South Africa

 If two medicines are bioequivalent there is no clinically significant difference in their bioavailability. Although bioequivalence is most commonly discussed in relation to generic medicines, it is important to note that bioequivalence studies are also performed for innovator medicines in some situations such as: between early and late clinical trial formulations or between the formulations used in clinical trials and the product to be marketed for new medicines when changes in formulation have occurred after an innovator product has been approved, for example a change in one or more excipients (inactive ingredients).

 In pharmacology, bioavailability is a subcategory of absorption and is the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation, one of the principal pharmacokinetic properties of drugs.  There are many recent advances and factors affecting Bioavailability. It includes Absorption, metabolism and Food effect of Drugs. Physico-chemical factors first pass metabolism and Energy dependent efflux transporters are also discussed in BA/BE World Congress.

Bioequivalence regulations have made stricter, yet there is ample scope of improvement in present bioequivalence study designs. Areas where amendments are desired include: general study design, blinding, gender of subject, female subjects, body mass index, and replacement of subjects on withdrawal or, dropouts, genetic phenotyping, endogenous substances, emesis / vomiting and washout period, respectively. Bioavailability and Bioequivalence studies are conducted in healthy human volunteer in study centre. Study centres requires Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) and Bio analytical laboratory. The design and conduct of comparative bioavailability studies are formulated. Investigator(s) should have appropriate expertise, qualifications and competence to undertake a proposed study and is familiar with pharmacokinetic theories underlying bioavailability studies. The design should be based on a reasonable knowledge of the pharmacodynamics and/or the pharmacokinetics of the active substance in question. BA/BE studies are needed by regulations to guarantee remedial proportionality between a pharmaceutically comparable test item and a reference item. BA/BE studies are finished Early and late clinical trial definitions, Formulations utilized as a part of clinical trial and steadiness studies.

Both bioavailability and bioequivalence focus on the release of a drug substance from its dosage form and subsequent absorption into the systemic circulation. Bioavailability and Bioequivalence studies are required by regulations to ensure therapeutic equivalence between a pharmaceutically equivalent test product and a reference product. Several in vivo and in vitro methods are used to measure product quality.

 It includes randomized, two-period, two-sequence, single dose cross-over design, parallel design and replicate designs. Absolute and Relative bioavailability are discussed. Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of the study designs make an important role.

 A biosimilar is a biologic therapeutic item which is duplicate of a unique item that is produced by an alternate organization. Biosimilars are authoritatively sanction forms of unique "discoverer" items, and can be produced when the first item's patent terminates. Reference to the pioneer item is a fundamental part of the approbation.

This section provides recommendations to the applicants, who undertake bioequivalence studies and/or who wish to request a waiver of in vivo bioequivalence studies for immediate release solid oral dosage forms.  Guidance here in explains how the bioequivalence studies should be performed, and when bio waivers can be requested in the context of the WHO Prequalification of Medicines Programme. Data on bioequivalence provide a bridge between two or more pharmaceutical equivalents when safety and efficacy data are available for one of the products, but not for the other. For multisource products bioequivalence studies, conferences are necessary to ensure therapeutic equivalence and interchange ability of the products. Bioequivalence can also be demonstrated by comparative clinical studies, pharmacokinetic studies or appropriate in vitro studies.

Clinical pharmacology is the science of drug use in humans. Clinicians of all specialties pre-scribe drugs on a daily basis, and this is both one of the most useful but also one of the most dangerous activities of our professional lives. This track includes recent developments on behavioural pharmacology, Clinical toxicology, Clinical and experimental pharmacology, Clinical drug developments & therapeutics and also recent developments on posology. Pharmacogenetics is the study of inherited genetic differences in drug metabolic pathways which can affect individual responses to drugs, both in terms of therapeutic effect as well as adverse effects which will be discussed under this track.

 In a clinical trial, participants receive specific interventions according to the research plan or protocol created by the investigators. These interventions may be medical products, such as drugs or devices; procedures; or changes to participants' behaviour, such as diet. Clinical trials may compare a new medical approach to a standard one that is already available, to a placebo that contains no active ingredients, or to no intervention. Some clinical trials compare interventions that are already available to each other. When a new product or approach is being studied, it is not usually known whether it will be helpful, harmful, or no different than available alternatives (including no intervention). The investigators try to determine the safety and efficacy of the intervention by measuring certain outcomes in the participants. Preclinical trials are early experiments performed in the lab, prior to being tested in humans. This early research helps to identify potential treatments that are unsafe or ineffective. Clinical trials used in drug development are sometimes described by phase. These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

 In pharmacology, bioavailability (BA) is a subcategory of ingestion and is the part of a managed measurement of unaltered medication that achieves the systemic flow, one of the important pharmacokinetic properties of medications. Bioavailability is one of the crucial apparatuses in pharmacokinetics, as bioavailability must be considered when computing doses for non-intravenous courses of organization.

A contract research organization (CRO) is an organization that provides support to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries in the form of research services outsourced on a contract basis. A CRO may provide such services as biopharmaceutical development, biologic assay development, commercialization, preclinical research, clinical research, clinical trials management, and pharmacovigilance. CROs also support foundations, research institutions, and universities, in addition to governmental organizations. Many CROs specifically provide clinical-study and clinical-trial support for drugs and/or medical devices. CROs that specialize in clinical-trials services can offer their clients the expertise of moving a new drug or device from its conception to FDA/EMA marketing approval, without the drug sponsor having to maintain a staff for these services.

 Nutrient Bioavailability refers to the proportion of a nutrient that is absorbed from the diet and used for normal body functions. It includes enhancers of nutrient bioavailability, factors playing a critical role in absorption of nutraceuticals and herbal products. The role of BPDM nutrient bioavailability is discussed under this track.

\r\n Considerable challenges in drug development, particularly in the face of further organizational changes slated for OGD. A range of legislative and regulatory actions have facilitated consumer access to safe, high-quality generic products, although manufacturing lapses and product quality problems have created critical shortages in important medicines, casting a shadow over the industry's success.

 BA/BE studies are needed by regulations to guarantee remedial proportionality between a pharmaceutically comparable test item and a reference item. BA/BE studies are finished Early and late clinical trial definitions, Formulations utilized as a part of clinical trial and steadiness studies. Everybody has more heaped on their plate than any time in recent remembrance, and numerous consultant discover themselves always re-organizing their work exercises.

 Assessment of the bioequivalence of generic versions of certain reference drugs is complicated by the presence of endogenous levels of said compounds which cannot be distinguished from externally derived compound levels following drug administration. If unaccounted for, the presence of endogenous compound biases towards equivalence in bioequivalence studies of these drugs. Bioequivalence assessments may be complicated further as disposition of the exogenous analogue can be subject to various endogenous processes resulting in nonlinear pharmacokinetics. To overcome these inherent biases a number of different strategies have been employed.

Clinical trials are used to evaluate potential treatments that have had some effect against disease in the lab, or in animal experiments. The whole point of a clinical trial is to find out if a treatment is effective. The aim of clinical trials is to determine if a treatment works and is safe. By comparing similar groups of people taking different treatments for the same disease it is possible to show whether any benefits are due to the treatment. Effective treatments identified in this way may then become standard practice. Since the research is experimental, those who take part in early studies may not always benefit. Once a new approach has been proven safe and effective in a clinical trial, it may become standard practice. Standard practice is a currently accepted and widely used approach and would require approval by a government body such as the FDA or EMEA.

 Any drug that is taken undergoes a number of chemical reactions in the liver as the body attempts to neutralize foreign substances.  This set of reactions is well characterized, and a great deal of knowledge exists as to how drugs are modified as the body eliminates them.  More importantly, various chemical structures are highly toxic to biological systems, and these are also well characterized.  These constraints must also be taken under consideration as novel drugs are developed. The annual decline in the number of drugs approved for release onto the market in recent years has put pressure on you and your team to refine the drug discovery process and use more effective methods to discover a higher number of successful lead compounds.
