Guidelines & Guidance Documents

Introduction

Main topic of this collection is Bioavailability / (in-vivo-) Bioequivalence, although GCP/GLP, dissolution/BCS, pharmacokinetics, bioanalytics and -statistics are covered to some minor extent as well.

Linked guidances/guidelines are in English, unless stated otherwise. Language codes are given according to ISO 639-1 (i.e., English en, French fr, German de, Spanish es, Danish da, Portuguese pt, Japanese ja, Chinese zh, Arabic ar,…)

Although links to documents are considered current with 21 May 2013, you should always consult websites of the respective regulatory body for any updated versions. Documents superseded by newer versions are striken through. While obsolete, previous versions are helpful in dealing with deficiency letters issued for “old” studies. Documents published within the last two years are marked.
UpdatesUD and additionsnew within the last six months: →1, →2, →3, →4.
