Hello,
I have been following the tutorial in biostatistics by SA Julious (2004, DOI:10.1002/sim.1783). There, he mentions that it is possible to expect a priory a T/R ratio different to the unity (in a extent 0.8 to 1.20). However it is not clear to me, what criteria or in which cases can I assume an apriori ratio as big as 0.8 or 1.20, if knowingly I am trying to demonstrate bioequivalence and then I should be expecting a T/R ratio of 1.00.

In a particular case I happen to have a test product with content of the active compound that is above 110% of the content of the reference product. Could this product be evaluated for bioequivalence, by designing a study with an apriori T/R ratio of 1.10?


Edit: Category changed; I think this one fits better (was “Design Issues”). [Helmut]
