 AUC infinity [PK / PD]

Dear All,

Is it important to show AUCinfinity within range of 80-125% for Bioequivalence,
and shall I exclude AUCinfinity from Bioequivalence if power is around 50 % and other PK parameter like Cmax and AUClast are within 80-125% and AUCinfinity is out of range ?

Best Regards,

 AUC infinity

Dear Ram,

❝ Is it important to show AUCinfinity within range of 80-125% for Bioequivalence,


For which country are you conducting this study ?

❝ shall I exclude AUCinfinity from Bioequivalence if power is around 50 % and other PK parameter like Cmax and AUClast are within 80-125% and AUCinfinity is out of range ?


Whatever you do should be pre-defined in your protocol, not decided based on the results of the study.

Ohlbe

 AUC infinity

Dear Ohlbe,

Thanks for reply,

❝ For which country are you conducting this study ?


For Europe, we are conducting the study...
is this can change your answer?

 EMA vs. FDA

Dear Ram,

❝ For Europe, we are conducting the study...

❝ is this can change your answer?


Yes. The FDA guideline recommends that both AUCt and AUCinf be used to measure total exposure. No chance to put AUCinf aside for FDA submissions (at least according to the guideline).

The current EMA guideline considers AUCt to be "the most reliable reflection of the extent of absorption".

 A posteriori power

Dear Ram!

❝ and shall I exclude AUCinfinity from Bioequivalence if power is around 50 % … ?


Forget about 'power' (except in sample size planning, of course); see this post (and search for other posts). I know that this value is given in the output of Phoenix/WinNonlin – but please forget it. The outcome of a BE study is dichotomouseither you have demonstrated BE (confidence interval within the acceptance range), or not.

I agree with Ohlbe’s statement about following the protocol – but exclusion based on ‘lacking power’ would be a flawed concept anyway.
