  • 1.  Change in IV formulation

    Posted 08-Apr-2021 08:24
    Dear all,

    Good morning. Our CMC team is changing an existing IV formulation. They are switching from a free base formulation of 10 mg/vial (5 mg/mL) to the hydrochloride salt formulation of 45 mg/vial (15 mg/mL). So the question is what type of study will we need to switch patients from old formulation to the new formulation. Since both are IV formulations, probably a BE study won't work.
    What is the regulatory impact? My assessment is that at a minimum, we will need to file an IND Amendment with full CMC information.
    Please get back to me at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ani
