 within - subject variability [General Sta­tis­tics]

Dear all,

I need your opinion in a problem concerning intra-subject variability.
as Sponsor, we received the results of a full - replicated study and I have found something interesting in the statistical report.
The CRO reported also the values obtained for intra- subject variability for test and also for reference product. But the reported value is identical with Geo CV of mean Cmax for the tested products. More than that, these values are almost double compared to those reported for reference in literature.

Is this possible?
Thank you. Regards,
Jo

 CVinter zero?!

Hi Ioana!

❝ The CRO reported also the values obtained for intra- subject variability for test and also for reference product.


The former is nice to know and only the latter needed for scaling.

❝ But the reported value is identical with Geo CV of mean Cmax for the tested products.


That’s a crude estimate of CVtotal. Its value could only be identical to CVintra if CVinter = 0… I guess the CRO screwed up.

❝ More than that, these values are almost double compared to those reported for reference in literature.


Unlikely, but not impossible. Comparisons (especially of HVDs/HVDPs) between study are always problematic. BTW, do you trust in their bioanalytics?

Thank you for response Helmut ;-)

I needed to see a similar point of view with what I was thinking. The CRO will be audited again, to review the whole study. :-(
