In Vitro Release Testing (IVRT) Studies

What is IVRT?

In Vitro Release Testing (IVRT) is a critical analytical technique used to evaluate the release rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from topical formulations. This method is essential for ensuring the consistency, quality, and performance of products such as creams, gels, and ointments. IVRT studies help in understanding how a drug is released from its formulation, which is crucial for both regulatory approval and market success.

Why IVRT Matters

IVRT studies are not just a regulatory requirement; they are a vital part of the product development process. By understanding the release characteristics of your formulations, you can ensure consistent performance, enhance product quality, and gain a competitive edge in the market.

In vitro release rate (IVRT) can reflect numerous and combined effects of several physical and chemical parameters, including solubility, particle size of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and rheological properties of the dosage form. In vitro release testing (IVRT) is an FDA required test used to support pre- and post-approval manufacturing changes in compliance with SUPAC-SS requirements. IVRT allows for targeted and systematic drug development and guides the establishment of therapeutic equivalence. IVRT measures the release rate of a drug by using Franz diffusion cells and a non-interactive synthetic membrane or skin, and can be used to develop methods for analyzing a range of semi-solid dosage forms, including:

Topical Aerosols

Ointments
Liposomes/Ethosomes
Suspensions
Creams
Microencapsulation
Lotions
