Dear Members,

We ran a BE study using William's design for 4 products, 1 original and 3 generic products. We used 28 subjects with 7 subjects in each treatment. One subject dropped out in one of the treatment phase. For William's design, we need to drop 3 more subjects to make it balance for statistical analysis. We randomize the subjects to be discarded. Should we randomize first the 3 subjects to be discarded before the analysis of plasma samples or we should randomize the subjects to be discarded after the analysis of plasma samples ? Which is the right approach ? :confused:

Appreciate your comments.

Thank you.

Regards,
Ken

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
