Dear Helmut,

❝ ...Taking into account that the analytical method used for measuring the content of test- and reference-batches has limited accuracy/precision (2.5% is excellent!) and the method is not validated for the reference (you can ask the innovator for a CoA but never ever will get it) 0.95 might be “normal” ...


"Normal" is a question one could debate for hours, probably ending in a flame war :-D.
For me 0.95 or 1/0.95 is as "normal" like setting alpha = 0.05.
It's a convention to be used if nothing specific about the GMR is known. Nothing more.
And it seemed mostly to work over the years I have observed the use of this setting.
Of course it is not a natural constant.

Clinically relevant difference (aka GMR in bioequivalence studies): That which is used to justify the sample size but will be claimed to have been used to find it.

❝ ... but IMHO, optimistic even if you measure a content of 100% for both T and R. Given that power is most sensitive to the GMR I question the usefulness of 0.95.


Any other suggestion instead of 0.95 :confused:

Regards,

Detlew
