Dear All, I want to include the deletti tables in my SOP references and i am nt able to find the reference link. can anyone please help me in this? Thanks in advance Edit: Category changed; see also this post #1. [Helmut] |

Hi sury, ❝ I want to include the deletti tables in my SOP references … I don’t understand. You have already an SOP without references – what does it say? How do you estimate a sample size right now? These tables for α 0.05 (90% CI), 70/80/90% power and
Since power is nonlinear, you can’t easily interpolate if you are interested in anything not given in the tables. What if you want another α (two-stage adaptive and group-sequential designs) or an acceptance range of 75.00–133.33% (applicable in some jurisdictions for Cmax)? NB, if you are interested in reference-scaling (FDA: RSABE, EMA: ABEL) you need yet other tables (covered designs: TRR|RTR|RRT and TRTR|RTRT).3 No tables exist for other designs (e.g., TRT|RTR – which is better than the lousy partial replicate), Health Canada’s ABEL, and the FDA’s RSABE for NTIDS. Hence, I strongly suggest to opt for software, i.e., package PowerTOST 4 for which supports all of those (plus paired and parallel designs, non-inferiority/-superiority, Fieller’s CI of ratios, dose-proportionality, …).

❝ […] You have already an SOP without references – what does it say?

Hi sury, ❝ we have not yet finalized the SOP, and moreover we use the SAS Software procedure "PROC POWER" for the estimation of the sample size. OK. ❝ But however we wanted it to be more accurate sample size for that we want to include the deletti tables. I wonder why you were asking here for the Diletti tables. The reference is readily available in the manual of Proc POWER …Proc POWER employs Owen’s Q-function1 – as does PowerTOST by default. AFAIK, OwenQ is a still undocumented function in SAS… Proc POWER is available in SAS since v9.1 (2003). Hence, Diletti et al. wrote in 1991:The exact form of these integrals and an algorithm for their calculation has been provide by Owen; this algorithm has been implemented to create the figures and tables in this paper. We don’t know which software and code they used. Edgar Diletti and Volker Steinijans are retired; ask Dieter Hauschke.❝ ❝ These tables […] are hopelessly behind state of the art! ❝ ❝ ❝ NB, if you are interested in reference-scaling […] ❝ ❝ Yes For all reference-scaling methods you need simulations and have to write your own SAS-code. Expect run-times of many, many hours. The two Lászlós wrote their code in MATLAB, which is only slightly faster than SAS. Hence, for years they recommend PowerTOST themselves.❝ ❝ Hence, I strongly suggest […] package ❝ ❝ yes we are thinking to opt this package. But however we have a concern whether regulatory will accept it or not. ❝ By then we are doubtfull of using this package. Since PowerTOST is open source you (or an -expert) can perform a white-box validation. Additionally, PowerTOST contains not only reference data sets from the literature but also scripts to validate your installation. See also this thread.Maybe you are interested in this document.2 ❝ Sometime ago I have faced the concern regarding the Software validation from the regulatory. Any software used in a GCP-environment has to be validated. Have you done that with SAS?* No, I don’t mean just IQ, OQ, PQ! Good luck with commercial software where the source code (allowing white-box validation) is not accessible. You could only perform cross-validation (black-box) with reference data sets. If you don’t have more than one software at hand, you have to believe (!) that what is reported for the reference data set is correct.

Hi nobody, ❝ Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien ❝ Welthandelsplatz 1 That’s Vienna, darling. Tradition to the nth degree. Founded as “k.k.

Hi Helmut, ❝ Since Citing Wiki: The programmer must have a deep understanding of the application to know what kinds of test cases to create so that every visible path is exercised for testing.

Dear sury, Additionally to what Helmut has said: ❝ we have not yet finalized the SOP, and moreover we use the SAS Software procedure "PROC POWER" for the estimation of the sample size. But however we wanted it to be more accurate sample size for that we want to include the deletti tables. PROC POWER doesn't allow a power calculation or a sample size estimation out of the box for study designs used mainly in bioequivalence studies, beside other f.i. for the standard 2x2 crossover design! Except if you assume no period effects present. See here. But this assumption isn't appropriate in many cases. You have to roll your own piece of software. See f.i. this paper. And if you do so: You have to validate. — Regards, Detlew |
