Hi Helmut...

❝ To clarify: By 4×2 do you mean RTRT|TRTR and by 4×4 RTRT|TRTR|RRTT|TTRR or yet another one (e.g., TRRT|RTTR|TTRR|RRTT)?

YES!!!!

❝ But: IIRC, in the late 1990 Donald Schuirmann argued against more than two sequences in full replicate designs. See also Appendix B of the FDA’s guidance.

Thank you so much. Really, 2 more sequences are a waste of time to prove a bioequivalence result!
