Hi Helmut,

❝ Sounds OK, but didn’t you see no values >LLOQ in ~40% of the subjects?


Sorry typo :-P... I meant to push down the ULoQ to 100ng/mL (or 150 ng/mL from current 200ng/mL) and lower the LLoQ to below 1ng/ml(Not sure how low yet. As you mentioned I will need to check the chemist first). I think with a 0.25-0.5ng/mL as LLoQ maybe doable.

If 40% of the subjects still show many BLQs with some detectable values not much higher than the LLoQ while the other 1/2 show normal concentration ranges then I don't see how I can justify that the parent compound measurement is deemed reliable for bioequivalence assessment. I don't think I will see this happening with future studies having 2x the dose though...

Thanks
John
