IVIVe vs IVIVc

● In vitro- in vivo correlations (IVIVc)

● Mathematical models relating the in vitro behavior of drug

products and their bioavailability

• Regulatory tool used to support changes

• Valid for one dose, one species, one dissolution method

and formulations comprised between the extremes tested

• Different levels to the correlations

• Useful for modified release BCS I and some BCS II with

caution

IVIVe vs IVIVc

● In vitro in vivo extrapolations (IVIVe)

● In vitro dissolution are used to calculate in vivo release in a in

silico PBPK tool representing the human physiology.

• Other factors are considered such as transit, solubility,

permeability, precipitation, degradation, local pH…

• Much more reliable model can be built with IR formulation and

applied to MR, in vitro methods can be used as input,

extrapolations can be done

• Not yet a regulatory tool but can be accepted to waive BE

studies under certain cases

Human data – Building up a GastroPlus model

● In vivo PK data exist for

● 8 mg zolpidem IV bolus,

● IR formulations at 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mg zolpidem hemitartrate

● MR formulations at 10 mg and 12.5 mg Zolpidem hemitartrate

● Strategy : Use IV data and check model on IR and MR product

● IR : Let G+ calculate the in vivo dissolution

● MR : use direct IVIVe

● Purpose : Investigate model performance on modified

release and a potential in vitro in vivo extrapolation

● Zolpidem is a BCS class I drug and therefore any

modification of the release rate could impact the profile

Darifenacin : Peaks in the PK profiles

● Potential causes multiple peaks 1

● Enterohepatic recirculation

• Only in case of food administration (not before 4 hours in fasted clinical

trials)

● Salivary –Enteric recirculation

● Site specific absorption

● Gastric motility

• Highly permeable and soluble drugs, i.e. markers of gastric emptying

● Other causes

● Colon peristalsis matrix degradation

● Presence of microflora matrix degradation ?

● Darifenacin ER peaks in the fed state PK profiles

● Most frequent 4 hours (emptying), 8-10 hours (food), 20 hours post

administration (following morning)

● Not systematic for Test and Ref, not formulation related

● Not seen by IV route

which shows in vivo after stomach emptying

Conclusions - Perspectives

● IVIVc/IVIVe are useful in LCM, generic and NCE commercial formulation

development

Material screening (prototypical dosage forms, due

diligence)

Material definition (type of DP, target DP release rate or

location) to maximize efficacy or minimize side effects

Acceptable dissolution limits to ensure bioequivalence

Risk assessment (Test to Reference exposure ratio for

bioequivalence or justification for new specifications)

Biowaivers (Avoid bioequivalence testing whenever

possible to allow filing of new products LCM + generics

without running human testing)

| 65 Xavier Pepin – AAPS meeting 4th Nov 2014

Conclusions - Perspectives

● IVIVe for BCS I modified release formulations

● Works well for short release (0-4h) in fasted state including hydrophilic

matrixes (Paracetamol, Zolpidem)

● Cardizem MR pellets (0-24H) works well in fasted state

● Darifenacin hydrophilic matrixes (5-20h) in fed state : IVIVc obtained using

deconvoluted absorption profile (multiple peaks) IVIVe not possible

(modeling of multiple peaks)

● IVIVe for BCS II modified release

● Worked for Felodipine in fasted state if vitro ensures “sufficient” sink

● Felodipine (5-20h) correlation in vivo abs more rapid than in vitro

dissolution ?

Need more examples of IVIVc/IVIVe to draw conclusions

Conclusions - Perspectives

● Perspective for improvements of IVIVe

● More physiological PBPK models

• Transit patterns (partial gastric emptying, different transit rates with

impact of excipients and drugs)

• Mechanical forces (random + relation to food and nyctemeral cycle)

• Viscosity and diffusion in the lumen

• Free vs bound water (UWL)

● Link between in vitro performance and in vivo performance

• Dissolution methodology

• Viscosity, hydrodynamics, mechanical forces

• Selection of excipients for media (cf. Felodipine and Cardizem)

• Integration of dissolution/disintegration data in PBPK models

Allow a better estimation of within and between subject variability

Improve the in vitro-in vivo correlations
