Dear Helmut
I totally agree: Sequential design = opportunity. If I plan to be BE in the first stage, and my assumptions are fulfilled - everything is perfect.
There is no right or wrong. Your decision how to plan the study will depend on the risk you want to take, the time you need for the study and the money that you have to spend.
In Boonchai's example there's a limit in the clinical capacity. His expected sample size is 80 and he has only the option to start with 40. What do you think about a replicate design study? A replicate design study with 40 subjects will be better than a two way cross-over study with 80 subjects devided into two groups since you can claim the widened acceptance range for Cmax.
Kind regards
Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day
