 Some philosophy [Power / Sample Size]

Hi All,

If to conduct a BE-study with alfa error 5% and power 80% it means that a customer has 5% risk to buy non-BE medication and a developer has 20% risk to reject bioequivalent drug.

So, if we failed BE-study because PK-parameters were out of acceptance range may be we were "unlucky" and fall into 20% risk? :confused:

I wonder if there are any ways to decrease risk except sample sizing? :confused:

 β = probability that shit happens

Hi BE-proff,

you got it! The answers to your questions are: 2 × yes – yes – no.

Of course I assume that: You cannot manufacture a formulation with less deviation from the reference (or find a batch of the reference which is closer to yours). You have done the best to reduce within-subjects variability (in this order: conduct of the clinical part in general > sample handling/transport/storage > bioanalytics).


β = type II error, power = 1 – β

Many people tend to look at programming styles and languages like religions:
if you belong to one, you cannot belong to others.
But this analogy is another fallacy.    Niklaus Wirth
