Dear John
running a pilot parallel study does not necessarily mean that you have to conduct your pivotal studies also as parallel studies. But considering the long half life of the drug it is IMHO not reasonable to conduct a cross-over study. The CV% you get from the pilot is the total CV%, right. You use this to calculate your sample size for the pivotal study but it does not predetermine the design of the pivotal study.
Kind regards
Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day
