Positive FDA Guidance on Bioequivalence Pathway FDA agreed with proposed BE approach for both drugs Written responses confirmed clinical study designs and regulatory pathway Guidance based on Phase 1 PK profiles generated in 1H 2016 Key factor is long half life: donepezil = 70 hours; memantine = 60-80 hours Both reach steady state in 3-4 weeks Studies target bioequivalence (BE) to oral Aricept® and oral Namenda XR® Requires statistically similar patterns of blood concentrations over time Evaluated at steady state (during Week 5); healthy subjects Substantially reduces time, cost and complexity of clinical program |
