Dear PK,

what therapeutic action of an Anti-cancer agent do you expect in healthy volunteers ?

Due to the cytotoxic effects of most Anti-cancer agents it's IMHO unethically to treat healthy volunteers with them. So also a classical BE study (comparing blood/plasma/serum levels is IMHO also not possible in most cases .
