Hi,

Before conducting Pivotal study do you always require to conduct a pilot study of the same generic drug for calculation of intrasubject variability (of pilot study and then using this varibility for calculation of sample size for pivotal study).

If the literature/pilot study is not available/conducted and a pivotal study is to be conducted then which/what intrasubject variability do you consider for those generic drugs.

With Regards,
Venu.

It is a well-known experience that the only truly enjoyable and
profitable way of studying mathematics is the method of
“filling in details” by one’s own efforts.    Cornelius Lanczos
