Bioequivalence Studies in Drug Development
Methods and Applications
von Dieter Hauschke, Volker Steinijans und Iris PigeotBioequivalence Studies in Drug Development focuses on theplanning, conducting, analysing and reporting of bioequivalencestudies, covering all aspects required by regulatory authorities. This text presents the required statistical methods, and with anoutstanding practical emphasis, demonstrates their applicationsthrough numerous examples using real data from drugdevelopment.
* Includes all the necessary pharmacokinetic backgroundinformation.
* Presents parametric and nonparametric statisticaltechniques.
* Describes adequate methods for power and sample sizedetermination.
* Includes appropriate presentation of results frombioequivalence studies.
* Provides a practical overview of the design and analysis ofbioequivalence studies.
* Presents the recent developments in methodology, includingpopulation and individual bioequivalence.
* Reviews the regulatory guidelines for such studies, and theexisting global discrepancies.
* Discusses the designs and analyses of drug-drug and food-druginteraction studies.
Bioequivalence Studies in Drug Development is written inan accessible style that makes it ideal for pharmaceuticalscientists, clinical pharmacologists, and medical practitioners, aswell as biometricians working in the pharmaceutical industry. Itwill also be of great value for professionals from regulatorybodies assessing bioequivalence studies.
