Hello everyone,
As per reference product SmPC prasugrel may be administered with or without food. Wchich means that in EU one study under fasting conditions would be sufficent. Based on fast study, Sam's formulation would be approved, although clearly it is not bioequivalent under fed conditions. Taking this into consideration and this Helmut's statement:

❝ General remark: For the majority of formulations BE in fed state is more difficult to show than in fasted state.

what rationale for this guideline wording:
"In general, a bioequivalence study should be conducted under fasting conditions as this is considered to be the most sensitive condition to detect a potential difference between formulations." is?
In this case it looks like it is totally other way round.
Best regards,
Łukasz
