1. The procedure for abridged applications claiming essential similarity to a reference product (i.e., for generic medicines), which allows applications to be made to numerous Member States of the EU, based on bioequivalence with a reference product from one Member State, does not apply in Australia. Unless otherwise justified, an application for registration of a generic medicine in Australia should generally include one or more bioequivalence studies, each versus the Australian reference product. Directions given in this guideline regarding "non-EU reference products" (Section 2), and "Member State where the reference product is purchased from" (Table 2.1) should be disregarded in favour of the advice given in TGA Guidance 15: Biopharmaceutic studies.
2. Similarly, details of the (presumably most recent) EU Authority Inspection of the clinical and bioanalytical study sites and site of the PK and statistical analysis (Table 2.2) are GCP/GLP issues, and need not be provided.
3. Table 3.1 should be amended according to the metrics that are suitable for the product and/or study type.

For multiple strengths of generic TDDS products, bioequivalence studies should be performed at least on the lowest and highest strengths versus the corresponding innovator products. If an applicant considers that this is unnecessary in a particular case, a justification for not submitting bioequivalence data should be submitted in accordance with the ARGPM guidance on Biopharmaceutic studies.
