Hi Kumar,

THX for posting this  amazing  scary article ( free resource). Some observations:

• I checked the CVs; the study had enough power. Hence, the results are likely not by pure chance.
  
• See my remarks about the EMA’s GL in this post above. When we think about a “representative batch of the reference product” this study opens a can of worms.
  
• We discussed numerous times (f.i. here) the potential bias of AUC-ratios if t_last of T and R are different. Quote from the article:
  • As previously reported,* within-subject differences in the time of the last quantifiable drug concentration (t_last) between PK profiles that differ in magnitude (and therefore fall below assay limit of quantitation [LOQ] at different times) can lead to bias in the AUC_(0-t) geometric mean ratio. This is simply a consequence of comparing AUC_(0-t) values that have been calculated using different time windows, and is remedied by use of a common t_last for all profiles for a given subject and analyte (the revised PK parameter is referred to as AUC_(0-tcommon)). As expected, Table 4 displays this phenomenon, with all AUC_(0-t) geometric mean ratios differing from 100% more than the corresponding AUC_(0-tcommon) ratios.
  I love it.
