Hi Falisa,
  1. Not me. ;-)

  4. In MHRA’s EPAR the CI for Cmax in the fasting study was 89.60–125.85% (n 24).
    “[…] the Cmax 90% upper limit is exceeded, albeit only slightly. The fasting environment is poten­ti­ally a more sensitive test for bioequivalence than the fed study. The applicant has provided a suitable argument to justify why the upper limit for Cmax may not be of clinical relevance and should have no safety or efficacy consequences.”
    With a CVintra of 35.3% of Cmax that’s a candidate for reference-scaling, otherwise you have to increase the sample size. Below some ideas for different designs & 80% power (the replicate designs for reference-scaling approaches). For a HVD I would suggest to assume a T/R-ratio of 90%.

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
