Japan and South Korea [Power / Sample Size]
Dear all,
Japan and South Korea have a particular way of dealing with studies failing the common CI inclusion. A study may still pass if the PE is within 90–111% (Japan: if ≥20 subjects or ≥30 subjects in an add-on study, South Korea: >24 subjects; both require comparable dissolution). I set up a simulation:

Another opportunity to validate PowerTOST by a brute-force attack (of course only the left branch; in all 106 sim’s finished so far RSE <±0.2%).
Is this setup correct? Conventional power increases with the sample size (trivial), but power based on the PE inclusion decreases. Example: GMR 1.15, CVintra 0.3 (don’t hit me for the values; I wanted to start with rather extreme ones):
With higher sample sizes on the average we will get a PE close to the expected GMR of 1.15 which is outside the PE limits.
Based on some preliminary results I don’t want to speak about α.
