Hi ElMaestro,

I found a goody from the 2008 AAPS Annual Meeting

Evaluation of the reliability associated with pilot bioequivalence studies

Quote:

Simulations showed that given a 85% theoretical PE (bad formulation) and a sample-size of 12 subjects, the probability of detecting a bad formulation (observed PE outside 95%-105%) is ≥85% for all ISCVs tested.
However, given a theoretical ratio of 100% (good formulation), a sample-size of 12 subjects, and an ISCV of 20%, the probability of detecting a good formulation (observed PE within 95%-105%) is 48% only. This probability goes down to ≤30% for highly variable drugs.
