Dear J. Detlor!

❝ I believe weirddude specified a 20% difference, which could mean an expected ratio of 120%. With enough subjects, the technical requirements for BE could be demonstated, but I believe this is what is referred to as 'forcing' BE. Some would say a ratio of 120% suggests the formulations are not bioequivalent.


Yes, I’ve heard the term ‘forced BE’ also. If WeirdDude really talked about a ratio of 1.20 – well, let’s see whicht power we would get (24 subjects, usual settings, :blahblah:):
CV%   power
 5.5  0.8017
10    0.3932
20    0.1704
30    0.1180

Unless one has to deal with the ‘wonder-drug’ (CV 5.5 %), 24 subjects at a ratio of 1.20 are futile.

❝ To be specific, […]



Exactly.
