Is there any provision to determine Reference scaled average bioequivalence for Highly variable drugs?
In which, We are interested to calculate 95% Upper confidence bound. The parameter in which we are interested to estimate is critbound. How we can use WinNonlin (version 8.3.1.5014) to estimate it? Suggest if any additional module require for this.
These templates calculate the critical bound parameter you mention. Please make sure to download the templates for version 8.3.3. of Phoenix and read the instructions.
did you initiate the poll? If yes, the second part of the question is wrong.
Widening the acceptance range for the 90% is applicable for Average Bioequivalence with Expanding Limits (ABEL) if CVwR > 30%. That’s the approach used in all jurisdictions except the U.S. FDA and China’s CDE.
For these two agencies you have to apply Reference-scaled Average Bioequivalence (RSABE). That’s a different pot of tea. If swR < 0.294 (CVwR < 0.3004689) you have to apply conventional ABE. If swR ≥ 0.294 you may apply RSABE.
As shown in the article, you may face problems if you have to evaluate a partial replicate study for ABE (happens quite often if you may scale Cmax but not AUC due to its lower variability). Avoid the lousy partial replicate design whenever possible.
