Loss of power etc. [Design Issues]
Dear all!
I understand clear that post-hoc power is set yours teeth on edge, but I'll take a chance to ask a question once more... There was a study with one drop-out. The results of that subject have not been included in the calculation. Recently the customers received a reply from regulatories to calculate aposteriory power and in the case of insufficient power present a plan for further clinical development of the drug.
I estimated power with the help of power.TOST, based on obtained GMR and CV. The result is: power is less than 80% for AUC and more than 80% for Cmax. I remade the calculation including the drop-out: power for AUC is still less than 80%!
Funny thing, but the drugs were bioequivalent! Moreover they are bioequivalent nevetherless including drop-out's results or not! And that fact was already stated in the report. What to do in such a situation?
