| Abstract: |
The presentation will focus on the basic understanding of food effects on drug bioavailability and its
implications on safety and/or efficacy. In addition, current knowledge with regard prediction and characterization
of food effects will be shared. Commercially successful state-of-the-art drug delivery systems to overcome food
effects will also be highlighted. Based on real life experiences, FDA issued a guidance "Food-effect bioavailability
and fed bioequivalence studies" in 2002. Since then food effect is taken into consideration during compound
selection in early development. However, this issue offers drug delivery scientists an opportunity for lifecycle
management strategies to address food effects with special delivery systems for marketed drugs. |
