Hi Helmut

❝ ❝ One subject TCA show positive in the test. In this situation what should we do test again or exclude? if test again, what's the interval is proper?


❝ If a positive result is part of the exclusion criteria – exclude the subject. Otherwise, why did you test for it and state it in the protocol? BTW, I never saw a protocol which allows retesting. Given the half-lives of TCAs likely you will get another positive result anyway.


You mean no retesting in drug abuse or other clinic exam also? I saw hematology can be retested.
TCA isn't listed in protocol, but can be test out in our drug abuse test card. So here is a pratical operated problem. The protocol writer didn't combine the reality with protocol. So all the things just refer to the protocol, then ignore the positive result of TCA?

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
