Dear All,

I have some questions as below to add to this debate.

Assuming that the Tmax of the drug is 24 hours and both test and reference are OROS tablets.
  1. Why can't I mention in the protocol upfront and exclude subjects who expel GIT before say 16 hours?

  2. What is wrong in defining a criteria in protocol upfront to exclude the subjects who expel GITS after say 36 hours. This will be applicable to both treatments and Moreover as per my knowledge residence time in GIT is a subject variability and not formulation effect. In BE studies we test the formulations and not subject variability. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks & Regards,
drsinghs

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
