 Study Design with long half life [Design Issues]

Dear All,

Planning to design a BABE protocol on a molecule with Tmax around 1-1.5 hours and T-half of around 550 hours.
Can we go for parallel truncated design for the molecule? Does all the regulatories (US/EU/ANVISA) accept such kind of design for BABE studies?
Kindly Suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Pankaj

If you sample for 72 hours:
EU/EMA: Yes
US/FDA: Yes, but only if 'low intrasubject variability in distribution and clearance' demonstrated, :blahblah:
Brazil/ANIVSA: Yes
TGD/Canada: like US
... any many others.

Why didn't you do your homework fist and look it up in the Guidance page?

 Truncated AUC (once again)

Dear HS,

Thanks for the prompt response.
I was aware of both Parallel and Truncated design individually. But wasn't sure whether I can club Parallel with truncation model since it is not clearly mentioned in the guidelines.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Pankaj

Ok, let's say it the other way 'round. Why did you think that one may not combine a parallel design with truncated AUC? I would say it's important to comprehend the 'sprit' (if any) behind guidelines and not to search all the time for a 100 % literally match with you intended design. The main reasons for a parallel design are quite clearly stated in GLs and I don't repeat them here. Truncated AUC helps in preventing drop-outs due to long sampling (or just missing samples). One might even get a better estimate of Cmax, since with the savings in budget, more frequent sampling in the earlier part of the profile becomes affordable.
