Multicenter BE studies - center effects [Design Issues]
Ahoy d_labes
I am not sure I understand much of anything. I might not use a specification of centers in the final evaluation at all. It is a between-subject factor, so a phenomenon arising from center effects is not likely to affect your BE conclusion (perhaps a weird treatment by center interaction might potentially be confounding?!? perhaps test the raw center effect -low power- then exclude from model as nonsignificant).
If in a deficiency letter it is asked for I would probably treat center as fixed.
Subjects in Sequences in centers is treated the same as subjects in centers in sequences.
Best regards,
EM.
