AUC and Cmax [Regulatives / Guidelines]
Dear Dr. S. Gunasakaran,
Last year HC considered FDA’s approach (see here). On many previous occasions HC stated that they don’t see any need for changing the requirement for Cmax since for more than two decades only the T/R-ratio had to be contained within 80–125%, which – in HC’s opinion – was never an obstacle considering the necessary sample sizes. László Endrényi and László Tóthfalusi showed many times that for high CVs (say ≥50%) only the restriction on the point estimate leads the BE-decision (irrespective of the scaling method).
Therefore, I understand the logic behind:
❝ It's surprising to see that the HVDP classification is based on the within subject coefficient of variation of AUC alone and not based on AUC and/or Cmax.

Therefore, I understand the logic behind:
- Keep the current method for Cmax – which served well for ages.
- Allow reference-scaling of AUC.
