Can we revert to the average BE approach if within subject variances obtained from a replicate design/scaled ABE (TRTR) show that the drug is NOT highly variable, or can we apply the usual BE assessment criteria of 90% CI (80-125%) using data from periods I & II? The reason for conducting a replicate design was that a high CV estimated from the ANOVA model was obtained in a previous ABE study, an indicator for high within subject variability and data from published literature. The intention for using replicate design and for turning back to the average BE approach (if the drug is not highly variable), would be stated in the protocol.

I would appreciate your thoughts/comments on the above. Thanks.

if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
