In Vitro- In Vivo Correlation ( IVIVC ) Presented By: Mahewash A. Pathan 1
Introduction The term of IVIVC was first introduced in the late 1950 by Wagner et al . USP definition of IVIVC: “ The establishment of a rational relationship between a biological property, or a parameter derived from a biological property produced by a dosage form, & a physicochemical property or characteristic of the same dosage form .” FDA definition of IVIVC: “A predictive mathematical model describing the relationship between an in-vitro property of a dosage form & an in-vivo response.” 2
Importance To serve as a surrogate for in-vivo bioavailability. To support biowaivers foe bioequivalence testing. To validate the use of dissolution methods & set the dissolution specifications. IVIVC proves an important research tool in the development of drug delivery system. The IVIVC model facilitates the rational development & evaluation of immediate or extended release dosage forms. Hence it acts as a tool for formulation screening. To assist quality control for certain scale-up & post approval changes (SUPAC). Reduction of regulatory burden. To reduce the number of human studies during the formulation development. 3
Approaches for IVIVC Correlation based on plasma level data Based on urinary excretion data Based on pharmacologic response 4
Levels of IVIVC 5
Level In vitro In vivo A Dissolution curve Absorption curve B Mean Dissolution Time (MDT) Mean Residence Time (MRT), MAT. C Disintegration time, dissolution rate, dissolution efficiency Cmax, Tmax, Ka, AUC. D Rank order or qualitative analysis Not useful for regulatory considerations but for formulation & process development. 6
IVIVC Models Convolution model Deconvolution model 7
Types of correlation 1. Quantitative correlation 8 Y = mx + c Where, y = in vivo parameter X = in vitro parameter m = slope of the relationship c = intercept. Ideally m = 1 & c = 0, indicating a linear relationship. 2. Rank order correlation
Application of IVIVC Application in drug delivery system In early stages of drug delivery technology development Formulation assessment: In vitro dissolution Dissolution specifications Future biowaivers IVIVC - Parenteral drug delivery Biowaivers Establishment of dissolution specifications Mapping 12
