Planning and Assessment of Bioequivalence Studies of Darunavir Preparations

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

Planning issues for darunavir (DRV) bioequivalence studies are considered. DRV is an antiviral (HIV) agent classified as an HIV protease inhibitor. Bioequivalence test results must be submitted for registration of generic drugs in the RF according to Federal Law 61-FZ. Bioequivalence study protocols and reports for DRV preparations that were submitted for review to the SCEEMP were analyzed. Differences in study designs including administration after fasting or meals, with or without a low dose of ritonavir, numbers of volunteers included in the study, and intra-subject variability were found. The internet was also searched for data on DRV variability. Recommendations for planning bioequivalence studies of DRV preparations were formulated based on the analysis.
