Hi Achievwin,

❝ ❝ BTW, I have seen 4-period full replicate studies with 180 healthy volunteers…

❝ wow for a full replicate N=400 the sponsor has deep pockets…

Nope. ≈400 (parallel), 180 4-period full replicate1 but there are even larger ones (252 subjects started, 238 completers).2 If your drug is a blockbuster1 and you have to change the formulation, you would do it.

To propose that poor design can be corrected by subtle analysis techniques
is contrary to good scientific thinking.    Stuart J. Pocock
