Hi Helmut
I am facing the problem of a DDI with two drugs of very different half-lives (even much bigger difference than your example) and I am wondering if it would be possible to use a sequential design instead of the randomised cross-over. According to my understanding this should be in agreement with the Guideline. The sequence of treatments would be just CBA with C=drug1, short half life, B=drug2, long half life and A=FDC, all treatments in steady state. The advantage would be a reduced study duration and some cost savings. What would be the disadvantages and/or pitfalls?
Any idea?
Looking forward to your or anybody else´s reply.
Kind regards
Dr_Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day

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