Dear Pharma_88,

Well, olaparib is to be taken every day, twice a day, and has a terminal half-life of 15 hours. How could you possibly do a single-dose BE in patients, without treatment interruption ? Even if you were to enrol patients requiring treatment and who have not started it yet, and do a 72-hour PK after their first dose: that would mean delaying the next doses, which would trigger some ethical concerns, and you would need to go for parallel design.

Regards
Ohlbe

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