Hi all,

For a FDA 3-way BE studies (I know, it's strange), does it matter if I use 3 or 6 sequence? I plan to go with 3 sequence because I don't want to see a case where 1 sequence ends up with only 1 or 2 subjects due to dropouts whiles other sequence have more. ie: 24 subjects, 6 sequence, what if I happen to lose 4-5 subjects in sequence #4 (Hey people win a lottery sometime)

I know the old food effect study in the FDA BE guidance (long long back), the one which evaulated Test fed, Ref Fed, test Fast. I think 6 sequence was required.

Thanks

John
