Dear Dr_Dan!

❝ From a leading European regulatory authority I just recieved the information that a 3-period full replicate design (two sequences: T-R-T and R-T-R) for a bioequivalence study will not be accepted. The reason is that for a full replicate design R as well as T need to be repclicated and this is only possible with the respective sequences (so TTRR etc.) ...

Seems the story "Potvin C is not valid in Europe" is duplicated here on another field!

The full replicate 3-period design has the sequences TRT / RTR as is stated in your post and of course has T and R replicated. Not in each subject, but if balanced in half of ntotal each. And this design of course allows the evaluation of the intra-subject variabilities of T and R separately.

So what's the problem of the "leading European regulatory authority"?
Especially in the light of ElMaestro's remark that only the intra-subject variability of R is of any regulatory concern if scaled ABE is aimed for .
