Abstract:
Following the reformation of the new drug classification , it be-comes a new issue of how to confirm the bioequivalence for category 2 new drugs, i.e., the Modified New Products.There are occasional cases when the modified ones are bio -( pharmacokinetic ) but not clinical -equivalent compare to their reference products , and vice versa.If it comes up with different results , clinical-equivalence is considered to be more powerful compare to bio -equivalent result , and the regulatory approval will be done mainly based on clinical rather than bio -equivalent result alone.The present paper provides decision -making cases done by different authorities on products for which the bio -equivalent results are negative while they are proved to be clinically equivalent .These cases provide new ways of thinking for local pharmaceutical companies and can also be used as references for China Food and Drug Administration ( CFDA) in reviewing the same kind of products .
