    Dear Experts-

    What types of PK studies should the sponsor retain PK samples for?

    Thank you for your help!

    As stated in 21 CFR 312.38 Retention of bioavailability samples, samples need to be retained if:

    1.      the test article is compared to a reference oral solution, suspension or injection
    2.      the formulation differs from the formulation used in clinical studies to establish safety and effectiveness, or
    3.      the  test article is a new formulation, dosage form, salt, ester that differs from an approved formulation.
