Treat significance [General Statistics]
Hi Shri,
in general, when 100 (1.00) is not a part of your CI it is not a problem.
You have shown that the two products are not identical in terms of AUC or Cmax, but still they may be considered bioequivalent, provided of course that the CI is contained within the usual boundaries.
Often this is just a symptom of overpowering (the variability was lower than expected, more completers than expected or similar). This just makes the data material better, certainly not worse. Otherwise we end up in situations where the company 'should have included fewer subjects' and got a wider CI.
Denmark at some point signaled that they wouldnot accept BE if 100 (1.00) was not part of the CI. May the powers that be forgive their sins and have mercy upon them.
