Dear Lara,

❝ Someswara Roa. K et al. "Sample Size Estimation for Highly variable drugs using reference scaled average bioequivalence criteria". International Journal of Recent Scientific Research Vol. 6 Issue 7, pp.5040-5045, July, 2015.


forget this "gem" of science literature. It's simply crap. Don't believe even in comma of this paper. Throw it in a high arc into your waste bin.

Use instead:
Laszlo Tothfalusi and Laszlo Endrenyi
"Sample Sizes for Designing Bioequivalence Studies for Highly Variable Drugs"
J Pharm Pharmaceut Sci (www.cspsCanada.org) 15(1) 73 - 84, 2011
Online here.

The described simulation approach to get power/sample size is implemented in the R-package PowerTOST.

Regards,

Detlew
