FDA: If RSABE not recommended in product-specific guidance [Power / Sample Size]
❝ 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/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm089636.pdf
Note that this guidance was recommended in August 2008 – way before the FDA considered reference scaling acceptable (Progesterone, April 2010).
❝ 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?
Until the FDA updates the product-specific guidance, it is still worthwhile to give it a try. See the draft guidance “Bioequivalence Studies with Pharmacokinetic Endpoints for Drugs Submitted Under an ANDA” lines 119–121 and footnote 10. For the FDA you have to submit the protocol for review anyway. See also Section VI.B. of “ANDA Submissions – Refuse-to-Receive Standards”.
