¡ Hola ElMaestro !

❝ [...] Makes you wonder, did I skip one of the lectures in statistics?!


No, but these guys at EMEA did. When I read the assessment report this morning I couldn't believe it either. But in my experience part of the problem are sponsors's [cough...] 'not so good statisticians' (or CRO's). I have seen many reports were people found a significant treatment of even period [sic!] effect, and wrote lenghty essays in the discussion section that these effects are of no clinical relevance.
Maybe EMEA reacts like:

'Ah, very interesting, they have found something and dealt with it.
Thank you very much, well done, good guys, etc., bla bla.'


Again (maybe we have readers in London, UK):
  1. Significant treatment effects are irrelevant in BE.
  2. Any period effect in a cross-over study simply cancels out.
