Dear all,

I have found a BE study in which the subjects were separated into 5 groups (I think by subject convenience, there were 5 starting dates) and the washout intervals were not identical (not the same in each subject but at least 7 days) (also I think by subject's convenience).

It is a standard 2x2x2 BE design for a total of 44 subjects with balanced arm.

Do you think it is acceptable if the test of group effect is not significant.
Also is it possible to test group effect in this study (5 groups)?


Any thought is welcome.
