Hi Khaoula,

❝ […] we collected the results of 15 subjects and we analyzed Kinetica without protocol for the management of dropouts

We recently have submitted a paper to the AAPS J (which currently is under review). It seems that Kinetica is not able to correctly deal with imbalanced studies. I strongly suggest to use another soft­ware (we got correct results in R, Phoenix/WinNonlin, EquivTest/PK, and SAS).

❝ we had abberants results: for Cmax CV = 0,03 % for hight variable drug …

I don’t understand what you mean here. The limit for HVDs/HVDPs is 30% CV of the reference obtained in a replicate design. CV_intra from a 2×2 serves only as a hint of a highly variable reference (since pooled from CV_WR and CV_WT).

❝ power: 50% …

A posteriori (aka post-hoc) power is irrelevant in BE. Stop calculating it.
Either the study passes, or not.

❝ with subject effect and subject/sequence effect

Subject effects are normal in a cross-over. It tells you that subjects differ – well, they should…

❝ […] the exclusion of subject N 15 have impact in the result of the study?

If evaluated by Kinetica, yes.
