Hi both,

❝ ❝ 3. If Cmax and AUC data are available for the dose 25 mg and 50mg and lndose vs lnAUC pass through 0 can linearity be assumed for 5 mg also?


❝ OMG! General principles of linear regression: Never extrapolate beyond your data range actually measured.


I guess this means never extrapolate, only interpolate? Bioanalysts will yay this proposal :-)

I don't like the "lndose vs lnAUC" thing; it sounds a bit wrong. It must be AUC as function of dose -without logs- that gives a straight line through origo. Anyways, (0,0) is usually the most accurately known point on the entire curve.

Pass or fail!
