Hi Noha
I totally agree with ElMaestro. To my experience it is always a bad idea to run a pivotal study with more arms than just test and reference. This is what an assessor wants to see. Even if CPMP/QWP/EWP/1401/98 Rev. 1 recommends that "In studies with more than two treatment arms e.g. a three period study including two references, one from EU and another from USA the analysis for each comparison should be conducted excluding the data from the treatments that are not relevant for the comparison in question." it is not clear how to evaluate the study. Two treatments but 3 periods? How to handle this problem? So the easiest way is to stick to an ordinary two way cross-over....
I hope this helps
Kind regards
Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day
