To demonstrate bioequivalence for a generic small molecule drug, a company must carry out a Phase I clinical trial in healthy individuals to ensure that the area under the curve and maximum plasma concentration for their drug is equivalent to that of the brand name drug. For biosimilars, however, this process is slightly more complex.

The Important Role that Biopharmaceutics Plays in Accelerating Early-Phase Drug Development

Pharmaceutical Technology

The BCS is a regulatory tool that is used to justify clinical biowaivers for certain types of compounds (BCS Class I and III) based on dissolution data, allowing sponsors to justify not performing clinical bioequivalence studies when changing a formulation.
