In vitro/in vivo correlation (IVIVC) is a process used to establish a relationship between in vitro drug release or dissolution and in vivo drug absorption. IVIVC is important in pharmaceutical development because it allows for the prediction of in vivo drug performance from in vitro data, which can help reduce the need for expensive and time-consuming clinical trials.
Why Perform a In Vitro In Vivo Correlation (IVIVC)?
The following are key features of IVIVC:
Enhanced Predictability: IVIVC provides a scientific framework to predict in vivo drug behavior based on in vitro data. This predictive capability streamlines decision-making processes during formulation development, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming clinical trials.
Efficiency in Formulation Development: By correlating in vitro dissolution profiles with in vivo pharmacokinetics, IVIVC facilitates the identification of critical formulation attributes affecting drug absorption. This enables formulation optimization early in the development process, saving time and resources.
Regulatory Compliance and Approval Acceleration: Regulatory agencies increasingly recognize the value of IVIVC in supporting biowaivers, reducing the necessity for in vivo bioequivalence studies. Implementing IVIVC can expedite regulatory approval processes, leading to faster market entry for your products.
Cost Savings: IVIVC-driven formulation optimization minimizes the likelihood of formulation failures in later stages of development. By identifying and addressing potential absorption issues upfront, IVIVC reduces the risk of costly late-stage failures, ultimately saving significant resources.
