Dear ElMaestro,

Thank you for your input. I agree that this rule would punish sponsors have high sample sizes.

I understand this is also a potential mechanism of abuse to get poor drugs approved: Sponsors may increase sample sizes arbitrarily to meet BE. Would my proposed approach prevent that?

Lets take a drug that comes in 100, 112, and 125. Theoretically, a sponsor could get 100, 112, AND 125 dosage forms (assuming CMC doesn't catch it) approved for 112 if they use sample sizes big enough :-) This is my biggest concern.

Thanks again for your input -
