 Issue with PBE Cal­cu­la­tion when Stage = 1 [Regulatives / Guidelines]

FDA “Draft Guidance on Budesonide” part 5, provides Recommendation Related to the Population Bioequivalence (PBE) Statistical Analysis Procedure (Step 3):

a. If SigmaR is greater than 0.1, the reference-scaled procedure should be used.
b. If SigmaR is less or equal to 0.1, then the constant-scaled procedure should be used.

However, when stage (m) is 1, SigmaR cannot be defined because the calculation for MSWk cannot proceed when m = 1 (see formula for MSWk in the guidance).

What approach should be used to calculate PBE when m = 1? Are there any alternative methods or approaches recommended in this scenario?

I have attached formula from Draft Guidance on Budesonide for reference.

Thanks for replying and suggesting!

Hello Weiguo2122,


❝ What approach should be used to calculate PBE when m = 1? Are there any alternative methods or approaches recommended in this scenario?



When m=1 you have a between units variation (MSB = Mean Square Between) but you do not have a within-unit-variation (MSW = Mean Square Within). A mean square is a variance. The square root of a variance is a standard deviation. You see, at m=1 the entire right-hand side of whatever is under the square root sign disappears.
So, at m=1 the stdev for ref is the square root of MSB for that formulation. :-)

Pass or fail!

Hi ElMaestro,

Thank you for your reply. Based on your suggestion, I have been working with a set of code;-):cool:
