In Vitro-In Vivo Correlation

IVIVC is a mathematical relationship between in vitro and in vivo properties of a drug, developed to predict oral bioavailability from dissolution data. Introduced by Amidon and colleagues in the 1995 Biopharmaceutics Classification System, it bridges laboratory measurements and clinical outcomes to streamline drug development.
