Regulatory guidance versus literature data [Power / Sample Size]
Salam Helmut,
Thank you for the detailed, evidence-proofed explanation.
The problem here is that literature data archiving the PKs and output of previous BE studies on simvastatin show border ISV with CV around 30% (29% - 33%).
On the contrary, till the moment, the FDA guidance for BE study on Simvastatin doesn't involve reference scaling
https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/.../Guidances/ucm086171.pdf
https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm089636.pdf
So, the straightforward question is:
Does the BE study of Simvastatin involve reference scaling due the border ISV of simvastatin derived from literature though the regulator doesn't imply that?
Greetings.
