Hi Astea,

❝ My thoughts are as follows: according to some product specific EMA guideline (sirolimus for example) we should shorten the limit only for AUC but not for Cmax. May it leed to TIE inflation or not?

❝

❝ Then by using Power.2TOST for CV=0.3 I get TIE very slightly upper than 0.05

❝ power.2TOST(CV=c(0.3,0.25), n=122, theta1=c(0.8, 0.9), theta2=c(1.25, 1.11), theta0=c(1, 1.11), rho=0)

❝ [1] 0.05000002

❝ In this case the diference from 0.05 is negligible, but may be one could find more rude example? Or am I using or interpretate power.2TOST uncorrectly?

You are using it correctly but this function underwent a minor revision. In the development version 1.4.6.9000 you would get
[1] 0.05003
or better with nsims=1e6 for the TIE:
[1] 0.050059
IMHO, AUC and C_max generally are highly correlated.

power.2TOST(CV=c(0.3, 0.25), n=122, theta1=c(0.8, 0.9),

            theta2=c(1.25, 1/0.9), theta0=c(1, 1/0.9),

            rho=0.9, nsims=nsims)

[1] 0.050092

❝ ❝ Try this (for the homoscedastic case swR=swT):

❝ And what to do if variances are different (non-negotiable word heteroscedasticity)?

Extending Detlew’s code for s_wT=2s_wR:

library(PowerTOST)

design <- "2x2x4"

theta  <- log(1/0.9)/0.1 

nsims  <- 1e6

bt.sig <- binom.test(0.05*nsims, nsims, alternative="less")$conf.int[2]


sw.r   <- 2     # ratio of swT/swR

min.n  <- FALSE # TRUE to force FDA's minimum sample of 24

UL <- function(CVwR, theta) {

  upper <- exp(theta* CV2se(CVwR))

  if (upper > 1.25) upper <- 1.25

  return(upper)

}

CVwR <- seq(0.03, 0.25, 0.01)

CVwT <- se2CV(CV2se(CVwR)*sw.r)

CVs  <- data.frame(CVwT, CVwR, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

res  <- cbind(CVs, n=NA, forced=FALSE, GMR=NA, TIE=NA,

              signif=" n. s.", stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

for (j in seq_along(CVwR)){

  res[j, "GMR"] <- UL(CVs[j, "CVwR"], theta)

  res[j, "n"]   <- sampleN.NTIDFDA(CV=as.numeric(CVs[j, ]), print=FALSE,

                                   details=FALSE)[["Sample size"]]

  if (min.n & as.numeric(res[j, "n"]) < 24) {

    res[j, "n"]      <- 24

    res[j, "forced"] <- TRUE

  }

  res[j, "TIE"] <- power.NTIDFDA(CV=as.numeric(CVs[j, ]),

                                 theta0=as.numeric(res[j, "GMR"]),

                                 n=as.numeric(res[j, "n"]),

                                 design=design, nsims=nsims)

  res[j, "CVwT"] <- sprintf("%.4f", as.numeric(res[j, "CVwT"]))

  res[j, "CVwR"] <- sprintf("%.4f", as.numeric(res[j, "CVwR"]))

  if (res[j, "TIE"] > bt.sig) res[j, "signif"] <- "p<0.05"

}

if (!min.n) res <- res[ , -which(names(res) == "forced")]


cat("swT/swR:", sw.r, "\n"); print(res, row.names=FALSE)

Apart from the CVs there is a dependency of the TIE on the sample size (common to the FDA’s scaling methods). If we force the minimum sample size to 24 dosed subjects (required by the FDA for RSABE) we get with min.n <- TRUE:

Hence, the TIE gets larger for studies forced to n 24 as compared to the ones designed for the target power.

Edit: Corrected code there.
