Dear all
an assessor realized that the number of AEs differ between the treatment groups and he/she concluded that the tolerability of one product is worse than the other.
I would reply that bioavailability in terms of peak and total exposure is taken as a surrogate parameter for efficacy and safety and I would point out that bioequivalence studies are not designed to investigate the safety profile in terms of AEs of one formulation in comparison to another. Due to the small numbers of subjects and small number of AEs any differences become significant but statistically not relevant.
Is this correct or do you have other suggestions?
Looking forward to your replies.
Kind regards
Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day
