FDA “Draft Guidance on Budesonide” part 5, provides Recommendation Related to the Population Bioequivalence (PBE) Statistical Analysis Procedure (Step 3): a. If SigmaR is greater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). ![[image]](img/uploaded/image916.png) ![[image]](img/uploaded/image917.png) 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 I have attached formula from Draft Guidance on Budesonide for reference.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! ElMaestro |
