As a part of risk mitigation strategy, Innovator have added antioxidant to control NDSRI. In general addition of any new excipient in generic approved formulation call for bioequivalence study.
Any lead to justify bio-waiver for revised generic formulation for approved drug product w.r.t. addition of antioxidant (less than 0.5 % of total formulation) to control NDSRI.

No problem.

I don’t think it is 100% an answer (yet) but may be used to help build a case around whether or not a BE study is needed, and what can be used as alternative proof for applying for a waiver for a BE study.
