Hi Zan,

❝ Thanks very much for the useful reply, ElMaestro and Helmut! Yes I am using Phoenix Winnonlin to work on this analysis. If there is a significant treatment*Group effect, is the overall (all subject) ratio (CI90%) still valid, or we have to adopt the ratio (CI90%) from separate groups?

I personally find it very difficult to address a significant group x treatment interaction. To help visual interpretation you could plot the four effects in a bar diagram. A low p-value for group x treatment means you think the four bars all not of equal height. Where does that leave us?
ABE is all about the treatment performance in itself and not treatment in summer versus treatment in winter (the latter just to make it a little extreme, hope you get the general idea). Sure, if there is a pronounced difference in stability of T and R, respectively, and the two groups are well separated in time then we could observe group x treatment, but this is speculation and besides if such stability differences would exist they should be caught and handled well before any study is kicked off cf. GMP and GCP.
I am inclined to say a significant group x treatment should be considered a mere nuisance just like Conchita Wurst or nail fungus.
