Dear Byung-Ju,

have a look at the EMA Public Assessment Reports to be found here for another source of CV's for your sample size estimation. Unfortunately there are only 90% confidence intervals given.
But with a little math as explained in Helmut's lectures (f.i. this one) you will get the ISCV's.
A hint: If you can use R have a look at the package PowerTOST which will free you from the burden to do the math by paper and pencil (function CVfromCI()).

If you look at the resulting CV's from the studies mentioned in the PAR's you will find that at least for Cmax for studies in fed state there is the danger of having a CV >30% which is by convention seen as highly variable.
See for instance the PAR for the application of Wockhard Ltd. which gives for Cmax CV=34.8% in fasting state and CV=59.3% in fed state. Note the replicate design of the fed study.

Since there are a number of PARs its time to read Helmut's lectures with respect to pooling of CVs. No simple mean, median!

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Detlew

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
