 BE studies with Apple sauce [Study Per­for­mance]

Hi,

Is it possible to fail a BE study on applesauce give that the fasting BE (non-applesauce) study is perfectly bioequivalent. The drug has intrasubject CV in the 15-20% range, not HVD. The 90% CI has a upper limit of 120% (still less than 125). Fed study is BE was well.

I mean if everything goes well, no dropping of capsule content, subject swallowed all the apple sauce + drug content.

Just curious if the capsule shell itself would have an effect.

Thanks

Hi John!

❝ Is it possible to fail a BE study on applesauce give that the fasting BE (non-applesauce) study is perfectly bioequivalent. […] Fed study is BE was well.


Would be a surprise. pH of apple sauce is ~3.2–3.5; acidic but well above gastric conditions. Can’t imagine that the coating would be affected in the short time the pellets are sprinkled. ;-)

❝ Just curious if the capsule shell itself would have an effect.


Very (very) unlikely, IMHO.

Thanks Helmut.
I ran opened vs non-opened capsule reference only study before but never sprinkled vs sprinkled.
