Hi Kumar,

❝ We have conducted two fed studies for a particular molecule,…

More important: same formulation?

❝ From earlier published studies we found that they have conducted the study for N=30 subjects with CV: 33 and the study was passed but they are not talking about the power of the study.

“Power of the study” is meaningless. It might be that they planned for a larger deviation of test from reference and lower CV than what was later observed in the study. In order words, the study passed more or less by chance (i.e., with a higher producer’s risk).

❝ Now we want to conduct another study for the same molecule then should we go with the study 2 conducted by us or with the literature with high CV of 33%.

I would suggest to base study planning on your own results (you have little information from the literature about side conditions which have an impact on the variability: food, posture, analytical method, …). I would also suggest to be conservative and use the upper confidence limit of the CV, which for the second study is 29.7%.
