Folks: Are there any limitations on the maximum days allowed between different cohorts (let us say Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) in a Cross over BE study? Needless to say the Bioanalysis and PK work will be carried out after completion of all cohorts. Thanks a lot for your input Achieve and Win |

Hi Achievwin, ❝ Are there any limitations on the maximum days allowed between different cohorts (let us say Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) in a Cross over BE study? Maybe this presentation gives you some ideas. The FDA uses the elastic clause “months apart” to describe a large interval. ❝ Needless to say the Bioanalysis and PK work will be carried out after completion of all cohorts. Take care that you don’t run into issues with the validated long-term stability. — Dif-tor heh smusma 🖖🏼 Довге життя Україна!

Needless to say the Bioanalysis and PK work will be carried out after completion of all cohorts. I agree with Helmut. There is no real limit in my experience. From a stats point of view it isn't an issue at all. Of course there are a few situations when you wish to avoid seasonal variations between cohorts (rhinitis or asthma patients etc), but you probably have volunteers? Re. your sentence "Needless to say the Bioanalysis and PK work will be carried out after completion of all cohorts.": I think it is better in practice to analyse samples after each cohort and accumulate the PK-data until the time of stats analysis. — Pass or fail!
