Hi Khaoula,

❝ […] so 12 subjects it's a sure way to have "sufficient" and large power, if perhaps CV of the study is larger than planed (for small values of CV), the number of subject will be sufficient to prove bioequivalence

Correct. On the other hand it will allow to show BE with a PE far away from 100%. With a CV of 6% in 12 subjects we will still have 70% power to demonstrate BE with a PE of 84.7%… I don’t comment on whether this is a good idea.
Regulators move in mysterious ways.
