Dear D Labes!

❝ In section 4.1.4 Study conduct under Sampling times it is stated: "... In multiple-dose studies, the pre-dose sample should be taken immediately before (within 5 minutes) dosing and the last sample is recommended to be taken within 10 minutes of the nominal time for the dosage interval to ensure an accurate determination of AUC_(0-tau)...".

❝

❝ My questions:

• Do I interpret this correctly that this prohibits any interpolation in case of time deviations at the measurement of time point t=tau?
  
• Is extrapolation (as we discusses at times here in case of missing samples) also prohibited?
  
• Would that mean, we are not able to calculate AUC_(0-tau) in case
  of missing samples at t=tau?
  
• Does this all also apply to AUC_(0-72), truncated area?

Positive thinking!
I guess this section is a reminder to sample accurately at critical time points. I will continue to do exactly the same I did for many years:

• Imputation of missing values by interpolation; linear at t<t_max, loglinear at t≥t_max
  
• If a value is measured not exactly at tau, using the inter-/extrapolated one
  
• Detailed description in the protocol
  
• Never any questions

Following our discussion I changed my procedure. If the 72 h value is missing in a particular subject after only one formulation, I use an estimate. If both values are missing (theoretically - never seen that), I would use AUC_t instead of AUC₇₂ - for that subject only.
