In Vivo In Vitro Correlation (IVIVC) (Classroom)

Event

This course provides an in-depth overview of IVIVC by exploring the relationship between the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of a drug substance and a drug product. The correlation can help predict in vivo performance of a pharmaceutical dosage form based on its in vitro performance—an important basis for setting biorelevant specifications in line with the efficacy and safety of a drug product. This course will also include a short review of dissolution theory, in vitro data requirements, equipment qualification, and method validation, as described in USP–NF General Chapters <711>, <724>, and <1092>

Upon completing this course you will be able to:

  • Explain USP–NF General Chapter <1088>
  • Describe the importance of dissolution testing
  • Identify design elements for the BA/BE study of an IVIVC
  • Discuss the probability of IVIVC derived from BCS categorization
  • Describe the three correlation levels as illustrated in USP–NF General Chapter <1088>
  • Apply robust IVIVC and set specifications for dissolution testing

Who Should Participate:

  • Chemists
  • Dissolution specialists
  • Lab managers
  • QA/QC staff
  • Analytical scientists
  • Regulatory scientists
  • Product development professionals
