SUPAC-SS (IVRT)

For certain level changes in approved products—such as site transfer, changes in excipient supplier or grade, and some other such changes—SUPAC-SS guidance requires an IVRT to be performed to compare equivalency between batches. The FDA has stated in the SUPAC-SS Guidance document that “in vitro release testing has shown promise as a means to comprehensively assure consistent delivery of the active component(s) from semisolid products.”

The SUPAC-SS Guidance is applicable to the following regulatory submission types:

  • New Drug Applications (NDAs)
  • Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs)
  • Abbreviated Antibacterial Drug Applications (AADAs)
