Dear all,
I am novice in the field of IVIVC and have some doubts regarding it.( I am
currently using the IVIVC tool kit of WinNonLin.)
1.) How many formulations are necessary for running IVIVC in WinNonLin ?
( as per my knowledge three formulations are sufficient to fit the model )
2.) Is it necesssary that the reference data is IV?
3.) What is the difference between IVIVC and IVIVR ?
Thanks

Shikha,
Q1 How many formulations are necessary for running IVIVC in WinNonLin ?
You can have as many or as few as you like for internal purposes; for
regulatory, 3 is recommended (fast, slow, and medium dissolution rates)
Q2 Is it necesssary that the reference data is IV?
It can be (or even better to be) oral solution or immediate release oral
formulation
Q3 What is the difference between IVIVC and IVIVR ?
Not sure; most likely, semantics

Hi Leonid,
thanks for your reply.
You can have as many or as few as you like for internal purposes; for
regulatory, 3 is recommended (fast, slow, and medium dissolution rates)
As per the guidelines by FDA it if the formulations are independent of various dissolution
conditions like (pH, agitation) etc results from a single formulation are sufficient? but
we still require a reference formulation for building IVIVC?
It can be (or even better to be) oral solution or immediate release oral
formulation
Okay :-)
thanks

Dear all forum members ,
Has anyone of you tried forming IVIVC model for BCS class III drug?
The data i currently have with me is ---
1.) Fully replicated fasted in vivo data (RTRT,TRTR) and in vitro data
2.) Fully replicated fed study data (RTRT,TRTR) & in vitro data.
My problem is -
i tried to establish a model using IVIVC tool kit (taking only the first two periods in
consideration). Weibull model was selected for fitting the in vitro disso data and T was
taken in the internal validation field . In the invivo tab R was taken in the reference
field and the data type was oral. Maximum no of exponentials selected were 1 (by the
visual inspection of the in vivo data) strip Ka option was also selected. The first
correlation model Fabs=Abs Scale * Disso (Tscale*Tvivo) was selected. The prediction error
was quite large as shown below.
Fromulation Parameter Predicted Observed PE(%) Ratio
T Internal AUClast 134.80914 112.64871 19.7 1.20
Cmax 3.57053 5.58679 -36.1 0.64
Avg Internal AUClast 134.80914 112.64871 19.7 1.20
Cmax 3.57053 5.58679 36.1 0.64
Is there something wrong in my approach & Does this high PE% mean that i cannot use this
model for any prediction ? Also this study is not for the regulatory purposes but just for
the investigation purposes of how well the disso and abs data are related.
Any assistance is highly appreciated.
thanks
SR

Theoretically IVIVC should not work for Class 3 drugs, since the rate limiting step is not
dissolution but intestinal permeability.
In terms of BDDCS the rate limiting step for Class 3 drugs would be intestinal uptake
transporters as modulated by intestinal efflux transporters.

Dear Dr Benet,
thanks for your reply but i still have some queries.
I recently read an article (Journal of Pharmaceutical sciences,Vol 90 1176 -
1185 (2001))
" IVIVC models for Metformin after administration of MR oral dosage forms to
helathy volunteers " as per my knowledge Metformin is also a class III drug but
still a valid IVIVC was built for that .
Another important info my drug (X) has high solubility but low bioavailability
(, also it is reported that it shows First pass effect)
thanks
SR
