Wednesday, November 9, 2022

1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Greater clarity is needed on the types of changes that require a PAS vs. a CBE or Annual Report for complex dosage forms (e.g., transdermals, injectables, respiratory drugs, combination products, etc.). How can industry overcome common regulatory barriers to post-approval changes for complex generic drugs? This session will examine case studies of the types of changes that may be appropriate for each, what regulatory questions may be raised, and where additional guidance from FDA is needed.
