RegisterWhat if… [General Statistics]
Dear Helmut
You are a statistician, I am a project manager. The purpose of a bioequivalence study is not to describe the full pharmacokinetics (including food effect) of a drug entity but to detect differences between galenic formulations. Since it is acceptable to conduct either two separate two-way cross over-studies or a four-way cross-over study in cases where information is required in both the fed and fasted states I would always suggest to perform two separate two-way cross over-studies. I totally agree that from a scientific point of view the four-way cross-over study is much more interesting but from a practical (generic company's) point of view you should prefer the other option.
Kind regards
Dan
