Hi Loky do,

in addition to what Mittyri and Dr Gunasakaran wrote, a general remark about confirmatory studies:

You state a null hypothesis H₀ and an alternative hypothesis H₁.
In bioequivalence H₀ is inequivalence – which you desire to reject.
You state an appropriate statistical method, most commonly the confidence inclusion approach.
You perform the study and assess #1 by #2.
The outcome is dichotomous, i.e., either the study passed (H₀ rejected) or it failed (H₀ not rejected).

What you must not do: The study failed according to the planned conditions and then you change #1 and/or #2 in order to make it pass. That’s the cherry-picking Mittyri was talking about.
In simple terms: The entire \({\small{\alpha=0.05}}\) was already ‘spent’ in the original analysis. Hence, any ‘alternative’ evaluation will increase the patient’s risk, which is not acceptable.
