Advancing Generic Drug Development:
Modernizing Bioequivalence Approaches for
Topical & Transdermal Products
September 10, 2026
View Start Time on World Clock
This half-day virtual workshop features FDA expert presentations and audience Q&A on bioequivalence (BE) approaches for topical and transdermal generic drug products.
FDA uses Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA)-funded regulatory science and research to develop and revise general and product-specific guidances and to support abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) review. Case examples will show how research findings have informed guidance recommendations and ANDA assessment.
Attendees will gain practical insights into current FDA BE recommendations, alternative approaches that use modeling and simulation, characterization-based submissions, and how to determine when in vivo studies may be needed for topical and transdermal delivery systems.
