 RSABE - Sequence [RSABE / ABEL]

Dear all,

What would be the advantages/disadvantages of following 6 sequences (TRR, RTR, RRT, RTT, TRT and TTR) in a RSABE design, instead of 3 sequences as per FDA recommendations. Your comments are highly appreciated.


Thanks
Sundar. M

Hi Sundar,

❝ […] advantages/disadvantages of following 6 sequences (TRR, RTR, RRT, RTT, TRT and TTR) in a RSABE design, instead of 3 sequences as per FDA recommendations.


Advantages
  • Additionally to the estimate of CVwR you get the one of CVwT (good to know esp. if your study is a pilot and you want to design a pivotal study where CVwR ≠ CVwT). In the partial replicate you have to assume that CVwR = CVwT.
  • If swR <0.294 (only ABE acceptable) no convergence issues in the mixed-effects model with the FDA’s covariance-specification.
Disadvantages
  • Sample size is a multiple of six (instead of three in the partial replicate and two in the three-period full replicate).
  • Design currently not implemented in PowerTOST’s function sampleN.RSABE().
If you want to kill two birds with one stone I recommend the three-period two-sequence full replicate design (TRT | RTR) instead.
