Overview
What is RLD Sourcing for BA/BE Studies?
Understanding the role of Reference Listed Drugs in bioequivalence and R&D programs.
What is RLD Sourcing?
RLD sourcing for BA/BE studies involves procuring Reference Listed Drugs from regulated markets such as the US, EU, and UK for use as comparators in bioequivalence studies, ensuring regulatory compliance and accurate study outcomes.
Role of RLD in BA/BE Studies & R&D
In bioequivalence studies, the RLD serves as the reference product against which a generic formulation is compared. The selected comparator must align with:
- FDA Orange Book (US reference product)
- EMA-approved reference products (EU)
- MHRA-approved comparators (UK)
Why It Matters
Why RLD Sourcing is Critical for BA/BE Studies
Based on real-world experience, these are the most common risks in BA/BE and formulation programs.
⚠️
Incorrect Reference Selection
Using a non-listed or incorrect comparator leads to regulatory non-acceptance.
🔬
Batch Variability
Different batches across study phases can affect bioequivalence outcomes.
🌐
Market Misalignment
US vs EU comparator mismatch can result in submission delays.
⏱️
Supply Delays
Late sourcing impacts study timelines and trial execution.
These issues can lead to repeat studies, increased costs, and delayed approvals.
