Hi,
a BE study of standard design with truncated AUC 0-72, certain subject in one phase completed the samples up to 72 hours (test product) while in the other phase completed up to 12 hours (Reference product) the difference in AUC is very high (4 times) and the results including this subject dramatically changed to be failed:confused:
Now could we
  1. Consider this subject as an outlier and represent the data without him?
  2. Re-dose/Re-test this outlier subject again to test the validity for the outlying value?
  3. perform another stage for the study (knowing that the study power and CV% were satisfactory)?

Are there any references support this issue?

Thanks
Amira
