Our Bioequivalence (BE) Study Final Reports, prepared in compliance with ICH E3 guidelines, have been submitted to and approved by regulatory authorities in European Union countries. Today, our sponsors’ drugs are available throughout all EU member states.
Additionally, Novagenix has established the capability to conduct Bioavailability (BA) and Bioequivalence (BE) studies entirely locally (domestically), offering a more cost-effective alternative compared to other EU countries. Furthermore, Novagenix employs R&D personnel trained to contribute scientific and technological expertise, fostering the necessary knowledge base within Türkiye.
