Abstract

Interference testing of co-medication in bioanalytical method validation has become an area of debate in view of the increased specificity offered by current state-of-the-art technology in both LC–MS/MS and ligand-binding assay platforms. In view of this, and considering the extensive experience within the European Bioanalysis Forum member companies, we evaluated the impact of co-medication on the performance of hundreds of bioanalytical methods with the aim of providing a science-based recommendation on how to evaluate and document potential interference from co-medication on the PK parameters in clinical studies in patients and volunteers.
