RegisterR, packages (e.g. PowerTOST) and regulatory issues (e.g.FDA) [🇷 for BE/BA]
Hello Jérôme,
Power is usually the applicant's problem so I woudln't expect FDA to reject any dossier just because power has been calculated with a package that the FDA finds dubious. This is of course not to say that the powerTOST package is dubious; in fact this package is anything but.
Unless the package you use may calculate sample size so wrongly that a study is futile (unethical) there should not be too much trouble.
For evaluation of BE in R you need e.g. Yung-Jin Lee's excellent BEAR or some codelines of your own making and then the issue becomes more important. On basis of FDA's message I would say you can certainly validate an R script and use that.
❝ I’m preparing a clinical ANDA BE study for the company I work with and for that purpose I’m using R and the package PowerTOST (I’m computing power and sample size and also I use CVfromCI and CVpooled). I plan to perform both the statistical analysis plan (SAP) and the data analysis.
❝ I’m aware that FDA made recent clear statement about statistical software, but it’s to have your opinions and feedback.
