Dear Helmut,

❝ An alternative to two different studies [...] a 2-sequence, 4-period design of following type would avoid confounding issues:

  Tfasted Rfasted Tfed Rfed

  Rfasted Tfasted Rfed Tfed

❝ In such a design treatments in periods 1 and 2 can be compared in fasted state and in periods 3 and 4 in fed state as a conventional cross-over.

❝ Additionally Tfed vs. Tfasted and Rfed vs. Rfasted can be evaluated as a paired design (with high power, but avoiding confounding issues).


What exactly You mean with "evaluated as a paired design"?

Regards,

Detlew

Scientists often have a naïve faith that
if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
