BLQ values in Winnonlin > Status codes tool [Software]
Dear Simon,
Yes, this is always a problematic situation, and we could discuss it for hours. Treating the value at 8 hours as 0 will lead to an underestimation of the AUC. But treating it as missing will mean that you just ignore your experimental values when you don't like them. This can lead to heated discussions with regulators, which can be much less comfortable than posting on a forum.
If the next concentration is just above LLOQ, this can be due to analytical variability. But if it is much higher, I'd first try to understand what's happening: sample inversion, problem at the clinic, analytical error, anything. Even if it has no impact on this study, it can help prevent the recurrence of the problem.
IMHO it is a real pity that regulators are allergic to "PK repeats". Such repeats can help understand where the problem comes from, and they can avoid situations such as the one you describe.
