Point Estimate consideration in sample size estimate [Power / Sample Size]
Dear Helmut,
Thank you very much for your response and kind reminder. I am still interested in the opinions of other experts.


I still have a concern: when using GMR = 1.1 for sample size estimation, the actual GMR is 1.13 and 90% confidence interval is still within the range of 0.8 – 1.25. If the GMR of other generic drugs is within the ±5% difference to the reference, will the FDA approve product marketing? Is there any risk of ANDA’s review? Is it possible to provide examples where GMR is < 0.9 or > 1.1 and the product still be approved by FDA or other regulator?
Best Regards!
