Dear All,
I am working on a highly variable drugs (HVD), please post me if you
have any material, files related to HVD.
I am confused with Average BE and Scaled Average BE, Scaled BE.
Thank you very much for your time and consdieration.
Regards,
Shankar Lanke

Dear Shankar:
What do you wish to know about highly variable drugs? Are you
concerned about bioequivalrnce? Or are you concenred about how best to
manage therapy with a HVD? If it is the latter, then you might well
consider using the tools of nonparametric population modeling (which
estimates the entire joint model parameter distribution, not just
point estimators of an assumed normal or lognormal one) in combination
with multiple model dosage design, which uses the multiple support
points in the nonparametric PK/PD model to hit a desired therapeutic
target goal specifically with minimum expected weighted squared error
- maximum precision. You might also look at:

Dear Shankar,
Please refer to USFDA Guidance regarding Average, Population and
Scaled BE isuues.
As for HVDs related issues in BE evaluation studies please refer to
USFDA and EMEA Guidances facing these problems.
