What Does IBE Stand For?

IBE stands for Individual Bioequivalence

Individual Bioequivalence (IBE) refers to a statistical approach used to assess the similarity in bioavailability of a generic drug to its reference brand counterpart at the individual level. IBE focuses on the variability in drug absorption and action among different individuals, ensuring that a generic product performs similarly to the reference drug for all patients, rather than just on average. This assessment is crucial for regulatory evaluations to ensure safety, efficacy, and therapeutic equivalence in clinical settings.
