Hi All,

Let's say I want to calculate sample size for a BE-study using the following data:

CVintra of Cmax= 39.8%
Power= at least 80%
GMR = 1.15

I want to utilize 2x2x4 design with reference scaling and PowerTOST gives me:

library(PowerTOST)

sampleN.scABEL.ad(CV=0.398, theta0=1.15, targetpower=0.80, design="2x2x4")



+++++++++++ scaled (widened) ABEL +++++++++++

            Sample size estimation

        for iteratively adjusted alpha

---------------------------------------------

Study design: 2x2x4 (RTRT|TRTR)

log-transformed data (multiplicative model)

1,000,000 studies in each iteration simulated.



Expected CVwR 0.398

Nominal alpha      : 0.05 

True ratio         : 1.1500 

Target power       : 0.8 

Regulatory settings: EMA (ABEL)

Switching CVwR     : 0.3 

 Regulatory constant: 0.76 

Expanded limits    : 0.7472...1.3383

Upper scaling cap  : CVwR > 0.5 

PE constraints     : 0.8000 ... 1.2500

n  48,   adj. alpha: 0.04444 (power 0.8100), TIE: 0.05000

Is it correct that:

- at least 48 subjects to be randomized
- CI for Cmax is 0.74 - 1.34
- CIs for AUCs are 0.80-1.25
