Investigation Planning and Bioequivalence evaluation of Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists

详细

Results of a retrospective analysis of bioequivalence studies of generic angiotensin II receptor antagonists are presented. Losartan, valsartan, and telmisartan medicines can be considered highly variable with respect to the pharmacokinetic parameter for maximum blood-plasma concentration. Candesartan, irbesartan, and olmesartan medicines do not demonstrate high intra-individual variance in bioequivalence studies. Current regulatory recommendations and approaches to bioequivalence studies of highly variable medicines are discussed. Recommendations for the design and evaluation of test results of angiotensin II receptor antagonists are formulated.
