Full replicate designed study for Europe [RSABE / ABEL]
Hi Balakotu,
I do not work with EMA so I am unable to provide any empirical evidence. However, you may check the EMA guidance
here. Page 14 of the guidance states "...subjects in a
crossover trial who do not provide evaluable data for both of the test and reference products ...should not be included. "
With FDA, the safe route would be to provide statistical analysis with and without exclusions (especially if they both pass
).
I have seen some discussions around regarding drop-outs in replicate studies. Perhaps this implies that subjects aren't evaluable if they don't complete all 4.
Follow up question for the pros: if you include partially completed subjects, does this unbalancing have an effect on the mixed model?
I guess you lose a df if you have a subject that only had RR or TT, so I understand that. But what about a subject that has TR (instead of TRTR).
Cheers,
BF
