Hi Sam,

❝ Please suggest some test which we can apply for the exclusion of AUCt parameter for only two subjects.

No idea.

❝ ❝ Can you elaborate? With T/R of 84% and a CV of 26% you would have needed 342 (!) subjects to obtain 80% power (and still 260 for 70% power – which is the lowest any serious IEC should accept, IMHO). Was your target power only 46% – running another “casino-type” study? Bad.

❝

❝ I Really apologize for the mistake, the ratio is 84.71 and CV for the pilot study is 19.11.

Really? If your ratio and CV are just 0.02% (!!) worse, your power would already be <80%. Remember that outcomes of pilot studies are estimates, not set in stone. Planing for 80% power – hoping for exactly matching the pilot and face not a single drop-out in such a large study – is gambling as well.*

In the pivotal study PE ↓ 83.82%, CV ↑ 27%, and you had 14 drop-outs…
