Dear Ohlbe,

❝ Any idea about alpha inflation control with such a design ?

If the evaluation follows the same line as the EMA recommends for 3- or 4-period studies, namely forget all the data not involved in the respective comparison, the same alpha inflation as for a usual partial replicate design is expected.

See
Munoz et al.

The method to control the TIE is coming soon ...
