Dear Yung-jin, Astea, and all others,

❝ Well, theoretically there should be no real zero conc. at all after taking a medicine for a reasonable sampling time period of a BE/BA study. Of course, there may have some conc. below LLOQ, occurring at any time point.


Strong agree.

❝ I don't quite understand why we will possibly have real zero conc. for the drug undergoing entero-hepatic recirculation.:confused: Are they just below LLOQ?


Yep, very likely they are. See these threads: #14584, #14925, #10603, #4182. I like Simon’s term “embedded BQLs”. I think that is very difficult for a silicon-based life form to guess which PK may underly such profiles. The easiest way to avoid them is a more sensitive bio­analytical method… I know, I know. Shit happens. Whatever one chooses to do – it should be done consistently across all subjects and treatments. Sorry for no better news. Don’t blame the messenger.

Medical researches can be divided into two sorts:
those who think that meta is better and those
who believe that pooling is fooling.    Stephen Senn
