 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.

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
