Event Goals

  • 1. Compare and contrast various BE study designs (parallel, crossover, replicate) and select the most appropriate design for different drug types within two days of training, as assessed through case study discussions.
  • 2. Identify key considerations in analytical techniques used in BE studies and demonstrate understanding by correctly answering at least 80% of assessment questions by the end of the course.
  • 3. Apply Saudi FDA guidelines to the design and evaluation of BE studies for NTI drugs, highly variable drugs, and modified release products, as demonstrated through hands-on case studies completed within the training period.
  • 4. Assess dissolution profile similarity according to Saudi FDA regulatory requirements, successfully interpreting at least two dissolution profile datasets in practical exercises by the end of the second day.
  • 5. Explain the BCS and determine eligibility for BCS-based biowaivers under Saudi FDA guidelines, as assessed through case study discussions.
  • 6. Analyze BE requirements for complex generic products, including formulation challenges and regulatory expectations, by successfully completing a group case study within the course duration.
  • 7. Prepare a regulatory-compliant BE study report for submission to the Saudi FDA, demonstrating proficiency by identifying and correcting at least three common deficiencies in sample reports provided during training.
  • 8. Recognize emerging trends in BE evaluation, including alternative methodologies and regulatory advancements, and provide at least one example of an innovation in BE assessment during the final discussion session.
