Dear drplacebo,

❝ Will this be acceptable from regulatory point of view?


Unless you intend to submit your data to Denmark, where such a ratio may lead to difficulties, all which matters to the regulators is your 90 % CI. The result of the point estimate is not taken into consideration in the guidelines to accept or reject bioequivalence.

The question is more whether such a difference is acceptable from the sponsor's point of view, and whether they should take the chance, or rather re-formulate the product. The decision would depend on the number of subjects in the pilot study (and therefore, how reliable your estimated ratio is), and on the intra-subject CV (little chances to demonstrate bioequivalence with a point estimate at 112 % and a high CV).

Regards
Ohlbe
